While stressing the CPU hotplug path, sometimes we hit a problem
as shown below.

This issue was always seen in the context of "ksoftirqd". It seems to
be happening because of a potential race condition in __kthread_parkme
where just after completing the parked completion, before the
ksoftirqd task has been scheduled again, it can go into running state.

Fix this by waiting for the task state to parked after waiting the
parked completion.
