misleading as it is always going to pass the result up.

The sync of the completion access with __i2400m_dev_reset_handle (which checks
for if (i2400m->reset_ctx) could race if i2400m_reset() returns negative so
the resetting of i2400m->reset_ctx == NULL is moved to the out: path.

As wait_for_completion_timeout returns unsigned long not int, an appropriately
named variable of type unsigned long is added and assignments fixed up.

Don't try to do several things in one patch.
