From: qiang.zhang
Date: Tue Jul 07 2020 - 03:33:44 EST


From: Zhang Qiang <qiang.zhang@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Before the work is put into the queue of the worker thread,
the state of the worker thread needs to be detected,because
the worker thread may be in the destruction state at this time.

v1->v2:
Add warning information for condition "!worker->task".
v2->v3:
Modify submission information and add "Reviewed-by" tags.
v3->v4:
Fix spi controller register trigger Warning.
when a spi controller register, a "kthread_worker_fn" worker is created
through "kthread_run" instead of "kthread_create_worker" which in this
func the "worker->task" will be initialized. and then the "spi_start_queue"
func queue a work to worker queue, at this time, if the worker has not
begin to running, the "!worker->task" will be true, so a warning is triggered.
