We can race where we have added work to the work_list, but
vhost_task_fn has passed that check but not yet set us into
TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE. wake_up_process will see us in TASK_RUNNING and
just return.
This bug was intoduced in commit f9010dbdce91 ("fork, vhost: Use
CLONE_THREAD to fix freezer/ps regression") when I moved the setting
of TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE to simplfy the code and avoid get_signal from
logging warnings about being in the wrong state. This moves the setting
of TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE back to before we test if we need to stop the
task to avoid a possible race there as well. We then have vhost_worker
set TASK_RUNNING if it finds work similar to before.
Fixes: f9010dbdce91 ("fork, vhost: Use CLONE_THREAD to fix freezer/ps
regression")
