[PATCH 4.11 114/114] pstore: Shut down worker when unregistering

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

4.11-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Kees Cook <keescook@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 6330d5534786d5315d56d558aa6d20740f97d80a upstream.

When built as a module and running with update_ms >= 0, pstore will Oops
during module unload since the work timer is still running. This makes sure
the worker is stopped before unloading.
