#1731695 — [PATCH v2] uwb: properly check kthread_run return value

Subject[PATCH v2] uwb: properly check kthread_run return value
Message-ID<upioF-1as-1@gated-at.bofh.it>
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().

It looks weird to assign an error to rc->uwbd.task and leave it there.
I think it's better to not assign errors to rc->uwbd.task, i.e. it's
either a valid task or NULL.
