Bluetooth: Fix hidp disconnect deadlocks and lost wakeup
Partial revert of commit aabf6f89. When the hidp session thread
was converted from kernel_thread to kthread, the atomic/wakeups
were replaced with kthread_stop. kthread_stop has blocking semantics
which are inappropriate for the hidp session kthread. In addition,
the kthread signals itself to terminate in hidp_process_hid_control()
- it cannot do this with kthread_stop().
Lastly, a wakeup can be lost if the wakeup happens between checking
for the loop exit condition and setting the current state to
TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE. (Without appropriate synchronization mechanisms,
the task state should not be changed between the condition test and
the yield - via schedule() - as this creates a race between the
wakeup and resetting the state back to interruptible.)
