#1644537 — [PATCH v2 4/4] crypto: Documentation: fix none signal safe sample

The sample code was showing use of wait_for_completion_interruptible()
for waiting for an async. crypto op to finish. However, if a signal
arrived it would free the buffers used even while crypto HW might
still DMA from/into the buffers.

Resolve this by using wait_for_completion() instead.
