[CIFS] Fix oops on failed cifs mount (in kthread_stop)
If the cifs demultiplex thread wakes up and exits (zeroing server->tsk) before kthread_stop is called, the cifs_mount code could pass a null pointer to kthread_stop Thanks to akpm, Dave Young and Shaggy for suggesting earlier versions of this patch.
