Linus Torvalds 09c0dc6862 Revert "[PATCH] kthread: update loop.c to use kthread" 
This reverts commit c7b2eff059.

Hugh Dickins explains:

 "It seems too little tested: "losetup -d /dev/loop0" fails with
  EINVAL because nothing sets lo_thread; but even when you patch
  loop_thread() to set lo->lo_thread = current, it can't survive
  more than a few dozen iterations of the loop below (with a tmpfs
  mounted on /tst):

	j=0
	cp /dev/zero /tst
	while :
	do
	    let j=j+1
	    echo "Doing pass $j"
	    losetup /dev/loop0 /tst/zero
	    mkfs -t ext2 -b 1024 /dev/loop0 >/dev/null 2>&1
	    mount -t ext2 /dev/loop0 /mnt
	    umount /mnt
	    losetup -d /dev/loop0
	done

  it collapses with failed ioctl then BUG_ON(!bio).

  I think the original lo_done completion was more subtle and safe
  than the kthread conversion has allowed for."
