Thread handling in this driver (and actually everything else) seems
to be written by a crackmonkey.
Here's my take at fixing everything slightly related to thread handling
up:
- full switch to kthread infrastructure
- remove unused semaphore as mutex and waitqueue in long_delay -
in fact that whole function should just go away as the user would
be a lot more happy with just msleep_interruptible.
- use wake_up_process for waking the thread
