The writeback thread would exit with a lock held when the cache device is
detached via sysfs interface, fix it by releasing the held lock before exiting
the thread.

I will change "the thread" to "the while-loop" when I apply this patch.

Nice catch!

This one should go to stable trees since 4.17 as well. I will CC stable
maintainers when I submit this one for 4.19.

Thank you for the fix.
