Subject: qemu:metag image runtime failure in -next due to 'kthread: allow to
 cancel kthread work'

Hi,

I see the following runtime error in -next when running a metag qemu emulation.

[ ... ]
workingset: timestamp_bits=30 max_order=16 bucket_order=0
io scheduler noop registered (default)
brd: module loaded
Warning: unable to open an initial console.
List of all partitions:
0100           16384 ram0  (driver?)
No filesystem could mount root, tried: 
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(1,0)

An example for a complete log is at:
http://kerneltests.org/builders/qemu-metag-next/builds/489/steps/qemubuildcommand/logs/stdio

bisect points to commit ef98de028afde ("kthread: allow to cancel kthread work").
I don't know (yet) if other architectures are affected. bisect log is attached.

The scripts to run this test are available at
https://github.com/groeck/linux-build-test/tree/master/rootfs/metag.
