workqueue: exit rescuer_thread() as TASK_RUNNING
commit 412d32e6c98527078779e5b515823b2810e40324 upstream.
A rescue thread exiting TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE can lead to a task scheduling
off, never to be seen again. In the case where this occurred, an exiting
thread hit reiserfs homebrew conditional resched while holding a mutex,
bringing the box to its knees.
