kernel: stop masking signals in create_io_thread()
This is racy - move the blocking into when the task is created and we're marking it as PF_IO_WORKER anyway. The IO threads are now prepared to handle signals like SIGSTOP as well, so clear that from the mask to allow proper stopping of IO threads. Acked-by: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xmission.com> Reported-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
