ext4: fix panic on module unload when stopping lazyinit thread

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27652

If the lazyinit thread is running, the teardown function
ext4_destroy_lazyinit_thread() has problems:

        ext4_clear_request_list();
        while (ext4_li_info->li_task) {
                wake_up(&ext4_li_info->li_wait_daemon);
                wait_event(ext4_li_info->li_wait_task,
                           ext4_li_info->li_task == NULL);
        }

Clearing the request list will cause the thread to exit and free
ext4_li_info, so then we're waiting on something which is getting
freed.

Fix this up by making the thread respond to kthread_stop, and exit,
without the need to wait for that exit in some other homegrown way.
