Subject: [PATCH 5/35] W1: w1_process, remove W1_MASTER_NEED_EXIT, it is redundant

w1.c 1.9
w1.h 1.7
w1_int.c 1.5
Removed W1_MASTER_NEED_EXIT along with the flags variable it used as
they were redundant.  The kthread_stop() and kthread_should_stop() do
the same thing and were already being used and checked.  I also think
there was a race condition in the current implemention.  If
W1_MASTER_NEED_EXIT was set, the w1_process woke up, then exited
because that flag was set before the remove master thread called
kthread_stop, kthread_stop would never return.
