orinoco_usb: Use the regular completion interfaces
The completion usage in this driver is interesting:
- it uses a magic complete function which according to the comment was
implemented by invoking complete() four times in a row because
complete_all() was not exported at that time.
- it uses an open coded wait/poll which checks completion:done. Only one wait
side (device removal) uses the regular wait_for_completion() interface.
The rationale behind this is to prevent that wait_for_completion() consumes
completion::done which would prevent that all waiters are woken. This is not
necessary with complete_all() as that sets completion::done to UINT_MAX which
is left unmodified by the woken waiters.
Replace the magic complete function with complete_all() and convert the
open coded wait/poll to regular completion interfaces.
This changes the wait to exclusive wait mode. But that does not make any
difference because the wakers use complete_all() which ignores the
exclusive mode.
