Subject[PATCH 3.16 011/204] uwb: properly check kthread_run return value
3.16.52-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Andrey Konovalov <andreyknvl@google.com>

commit bbf26183b7a6236ba602f4d6a2f7cade35bba043 upstream.

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().
