[PATCH 6/35] W1: w1_process, block when there's nothing to do

[David Fries]

w1.c 1.10
Instead of sleeping with a timeout, it will now sleep with a timeout
only when there is an active bus search.  When the search is not
active it will block until something wakes it up.  kthread_stop and
changing the search_count will wake up the thread.  Now if the search
value is changed (to request a new search) it will wake up and do the
search immediately, rather than waiting for the end of the current
timeout.
