[PATCH AUTOSEL for 4.14 126/135] lightnvm: pblk: prevent gc kicks when gc is not operational

From: Hans Holmberg <hans.holmberg@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 3e3a5b8ebd5d3b1d68facc58b0674a2564653222 ]

GC can be kicked after it has been shut down when closing the last
line during exit, resulting in accesses to freed structures.

Make sure that GC is not triggered while it is not operational.
Also make sure that GC won't be re-activated during exit when
running on another processor by using timer_del_sync.
