[PATCH] pcmcia/cs: fix possible missed wakeup

- thread_done should only be completed when the wait_queue is installed.
- all wake up conditions should be checked before schedule()

this fixes a hang of rmmod in the sequence modprobe yenta_socket; rmmod yenta_socket
as reported by Andreas Steinmetz. w/o this rmmod yenta_socket can hang on 
wait_for_completion() in pcmcia_unregister_socket()
