3.2.97-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Andrey Konovalov andreyknvl@google.com
commit bbf26183b7a6236ba602f4d6a2f7cade35bba043 upstream.
uwbd_start() calls kthread_run() and checks that the return value is not NULL. But the return value is not NULL in case kthread_run() fails, it takes the form of ERR_PTR(-EINTR).
Use IS_ERR() instead.
Also add a check to uwbd_stop().
