The IR Rx polling thread was originally a kernel_thread long ago,
and had only been minimally converted to a kthread. This patch
finishes that conversion by
- cleaning up all the unneeded completions
- destroying the kthread properly by calling kthread_stop()
- changing lirc_thread() to test kthread_should_stop() just before
every point where it may sleep
- reorganizing the lirc_thread() function so it uses fewer lines
- modifying the name of the kthread from "lirc_zilog" to
"zilog-rx-i2c-N", so ps will show which kthread polls
which Zilog Z8 IR unit.
Also some minor tweaks were made to logging emitted by the
ir_probe() function.
