Btrfs: init worker struct fields before kthread-run
This patch fixes a bug which may result race condition between btrfs_start_workers() and worker_loop(). btrfs_start_workers() executed in a parent thread writes on workers->worker and worker_loop() in a child thread reads workers->worker. However, there is no synchronization enforcing the order of two operations. This patch makes btrfs_start_workers() fill workers->worker before it starts a child thread with worker_loop() Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
