KUnit's try-catch infrastructure now uses vfork_done, which is always set to a valid completion when a kthread is created, but which is set to NULL once the thread terminates. This creates a race condition, where the kthread exits before we can wait on it. Keep a copy of vfork_done, which is taken before we wake_up_process() and so valid, and wait on that instead.
