Siva Rebbagondla 4c62764d0f rsi: improve kernel thread handling to fix kernel panic
While running regressions, observed below kernel panic when sdio disconnect
called. This is because of, kthread_stop() is taking care of
wait_for_completion() by default. When wait_for_completion triggered
in kthread_stop and as it was done already, giving kernel panic.
Hence, removing redundant wait_for_completion() from rsi_kill_thread().

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
