#1732248 — [PATCH v3] uwb: properly check kthread_run return value

uwbd_start() calls kthread_run() and checks that the return value is
not NULL. But the return value is not NULL in case kthread_run() fails,
it takes the form of ERR_PTR(-EINTR).

Use IS_ERR() instead.

Also add a check to uwbd_stop().

v2: don't assign error values to rc->uwbd.task.
v1: added a check to uwbd_stop().
