libertas: don't exit worker thread until kthread_stop() is called
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The kthread code can't cope with a thread exiting of its own accord and
then someone calling kthread_stop() for it. When the thread detects that
it needs to die, make it wait for kthread_stop() to be called.
