xfs: check kthread_should_stop() after the setting of task state

A umount hang is possible when a race occurs between the umount
process and the xfsaild kthread. The following sequences outline
the race:

    xfsaild: kthread_should_stop()
     => return false, so xfsaild continue

    umount: set_bit(KTHREAD_SHOULD_STOP, &kthread->flags)
    => by kthread_stop()
    umount: wake_up_process()
    => because xfsaild is still running, so 0 is returned

    xfsaild: __set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE)
    xfsaild: schedule()
    => now, xfsaild will wait indefinitely

    umount: wait_for_completion()
    => and umount will hang

To fix that, we need to check kthread_should_stop() after we set
the task state, so the xfsaild will either see the stop bit and
exit or the task state is reset to runnable by wake_up_process()
such that it isn't scheduled out indefinitely and detects the stop
bit at the next iteration.
