The pmu init thread typically returns immediately
without calling nvgpu_thread_should_stop().
pmu_pg_kill_task() checks if the thread is running, and
if it is, calls nvgpu_thread_stop().
However, there's a race condition where the init thread could
have exited between the time that kill_task() checked the
running flag and the time we actually stop the thread, leading
to a kernel crash.
Fix this by making the running flag in the nvgpu_thread struct
atomic. Both the thread proxy function and the thread_stop()
function will set the flag to false.
In the case of nvgpu_thread_proxy(), if the flag is already false,
then nvgpu_thread_stop() has already reset it, at which point we
just wait for nvgpu_thread_should_stop() to return true.
In the case of nvgpu_thread_stop(), if the flag is already false,
then the thread proxy function has already exited, and there is
nothing more to do.
