simplify cleanup_workqueue_thread()

Browse Source 
cleanup_workqueue_thread() and cwq_should_stop() are overcomplicated.

Convert the code to use kthread_should_stop/kthread_stop as was
suggested by Gautham and Srivatsa.

In particular this patch removes the (unlikely) busy-wait loop from the
exit path, it was a temporary and ugly kludge (if not a bug).

Note: the current code was designed to solve another old problem:
work->func can't share locks with hotplug callbacks.  I think this could
be done, see

	http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=116905366428633

but this needs some more complications to preserve CPU affinity of
cwq->thread during cpu_up().  A freezer-based hotplug looks more
appealing.
