[PATCH] hpsa: do not sleep in atomic context in rmmod path.

From: Stephen M. Cameron
Date: Thu Jan 05 2012 - 11:23:35 EST


From: Stephen M. Cameron <scameron@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Don't call kthread_stop with a spin lock held and interrupts
disabled because kthread_stop will sleep waiting for the thread
to stop.
