Unfortunelly (my fault) the kernel thread that now handles IR processing
has classical races in regard to wakeup and stop.
This patch hopefully closes them all.
Tested with module reload running in a loop, while receiver is blasted
with IR data for 10 minutes.

Carrying over ack from earlier(?) version of the patch:

Took a while to unwind everything in ir_raw_event_thread() in my head,
but now that I think I have it sorted out, yeah, that looks like the
processing logic all remains the same, with the addition of locking
that should prevent the race (also heavily supported by your testing).
