I'm curious, what blocking ops was called?

Wow, what a blast from the past. That code hasn't been touched since
2009!

Anyway, all that thread did was call test work on each cpu, and then
waits to be killed. It should only get a single wake up and that should
be from the kthread_stop() call. IOW, that loop should never be
executed more than once.

What exactly is the bug here?
