dm_old_request_fn() has paths that access md-&gt;io_barrier.  The party
destroying io_barrier should ensure that no future execution of
dm_old_request_fn() is possible.  Move io_barrier destruction to below
blk_cleanup_queue() to ensure this and avoid a NULL pointer crash during
request-based DM device shutdown.

<title>kthread: kthread worker API cleanup</title>

<content type='text'>
A good practice is to prefix the names of functions by the name
of the subsystem.

The kthread worker API is a mix of classic kthreads and workqueues.  Each
worker has a dedicated kthread.  It runs a generic function that process
queued works.  It is implemented as part of the kthread subsystem.

This patch renames the existing kthread worker API to use
the corresponding name from the workqueues API prefixed by
kthread_:

__init_kthread_worker()		-&gt; __kthread_init_worker()
init_kthread_worker()		-&gt; kthread_init_worker()
init_kthread_work()		-&gt; kthread_init_work()
insert_kthread_work()		-&gt; kthread_insert_work()
queue_kthread_work()		-&gt; kthread_queue_work()
flush_kthread_work()		-&gt; kthread_flush_work()
flush_kthread_worker()		-&gt; kthread_flush_worker()

Note that the names of DEFINE_KTHREAD_WORK*() macros stay
as they are. It is common that the "DEFINE_" prefix has
precedence over the subsystem names.

Note that INIT() macros and init() functions use different
naming scheme. There is no good solution. There are several
reasons for this solution:

  + "init" in the function names stands for the verb "initialize"
    aka "initialize worker". While "INIT" in the macro names
    stands for the noun "INITIALIZER" aka "worker initializer".

  + INIT() macros are used only in DEFINE() macros

  + init() functions are used close to the other kthread()
    functions. It looks much better if all the functions
    use the same scheme.

  + There will be also kthread_destroy_worker() that will
    be used close to kthread_cancel_work(). It is related
    to the init() function. Again it looks better if all
    functions use the same naming scheme.

  + there are several precedents for such init() function
    names, e.g. amd_iommu_init_device(), free_area_init_node(),
    jump_label_init_type(),  regmap_init_mmio_clk(),

  + It is not an argument but it was inconsistent even before.

to make the dm wait loops more similar to other wait loops in the
kernel.  This patch does not change any functionality.

Since commit 63a4cc24867d, bio-&gt;bi_rw contains flags in the lower
portion and the op code in the higher portions. This means that
old code that relies on manually setting bi_rw is most likely
going to be broken. Instead of letting that brokeness linger,
rename the member, to force old and out-of-tree code to break
at compile time instead of at runtime.

No intended functional changes in this commit.
