[PATCH v2 1/4] dma-mapping: benchmark: fix up kthread-related error handling

[Fedor Pchelkin]

kthread creation failure is invalidly handled inside do_map_benchmark().
The put_task_struct() calls on the error path are supposed to balance the
get_task_struct() calls which only happen after all the kthreads are
successfully created. Rollback using kthread_stop() for already created
kthreads in case of such failure.

In normal situation call kthread_stop_put() to gracefully stop kthreads
and put their task refcounts. This should be done for all started
kthreads.
