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.)
