Btrfs: fix async worker startup race
After a new worker thread starts, it is placed into the list of idle threads. But, this may race with a check for idle done by the worker thread itself, resulting in a double list_add operation. This fix adds a check to make sure the idle thread addition is done properly. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
