BTW, is the lock really needed here ?

IMO it should be safe to remove it because once here the sb has already 
been killed and the 'mdsc->stopping' will help guarantee that there 
won't be any other thread will access to 'mdsc', Isn't it ?

Else we need to do the lock from the beginning of this function.

Thanks
