Before 63706172 "rework kthread_stop()" kthread_should_stop() always returned false when called from a non-kthread task, after it would oops as a non-kthread didn't have that structure and netlink was calling search from a thread which wasn't a kthread. 9d1817ca "w1: fix oops when w1_search is called from netlink connector", modified the code to avoid calling kthread_stop from a netlink thread. Introduce a w1_master flag and bit W1_ABORT_SEARCH to identify abort to cleanly support both kthread and netlink search abort. A search can take seconds to run, so it is important to abort early if the hardware is removed in the middle of a search.
