Subject: [PATCH 2/2] dma-mapping: benchmark: prevent potential kthread hang

If some of kthreads executing map_benchmark_thread() return with an error
code (e.g. due to a memory allocation failure), then the next kthreads in
the array are not stopped and potentially loop for indefinite time.

Call kthread_stop() for each started thread as map_benchmark_thread()
expects that happening in order to exit.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org).

Fixes: 65789daa8087 ("dma-mapping: add benchmark support for streaming DMA APIs")
