[media] rc: refactor raw handler kthread

Browse source 
I think we can get rid of the spinlock protecting the kthread from being
interrupted by a wakeup in certain parts.
Even with the current implementation of the kthread the only lost wakeup
scenario could happen if the wakeup occurs between the kfifo_len check
and setting the state to TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE.

In the changed version we could lose a wakeup if it occurs between
processing the fifo content and setting the state to TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE.
This scenario is covered by an additional check for available events in
the fifo and setting the state to TASK_RUNNING in this case.

In addition the changed version flushes the kfifo before ending
when the kthread is stopped.

With this patch we gain:
- Get rid of the spinlock
- Simplify code
- Don't grep / release the mutex for each individual event but just once
  for the complete fifo content. This reduces overhead if a driver e.g.
  triggers processing after writing the content of a hw fifo to the kfifo.
