UBUNTU: SAUCE: Redpine: improve kernel thread handling to fix kernel panic

BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1777858

While running regressions, observed below kernel panic when sdio disconnect
called. The root cause of this issue is, kthread_stop() is taking care of
wait_for_completion() by default. Hence, removing wait_for_completion()
from rsi_disconnect().
