Subject: [PATCH v3] kthread: Work could not be queued when worker being destroyed

From: Zhang Qiang <qiang.zhang@...driver.com>

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.
