This commit fixes the following bugs introduced by commit 70bbeb2
("dm delay: for short delays, use kthread instead of timers and wq"):
* the function flush_worker_fn has no exit path - on unload, this
function will just loop and consume 100% CPU without any progress
* the wake-up mechanism in flush_worker_fn is racy - a wake up will be
missed if the process adds entries to the delayed_bios list just
before set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE)
* flush_delayed_bios_fast submits a bio while holding a global mutex;
this may deadlock if we have multiple stacked dm-delay devices and
the underlying device attempts to acquire the mutex too
* if the target constructor fails, it will call delay_dtr. delay_dtr
would attempt to free dc->timer_lock without it being initialized by
the constructor.
* if the target constructor's kthread allocation fails, delay_dtr
would crash trying to dereference dc->worker because it is non-NULL
due to ERR_PTR.
