Ignore errors returned from kthread_stop since the
vimc subdevices should still be notified that
streaming stopped so they can release the memory for
the streaming, and also kthread should be set to NULL.
kthread_stop can return -EINTR in case the thread
did not yet ran. This can happen if userspace calls
streamon and streamoff right after.

Could you add a comment here too? To make it clean in the code why we are ignoring this error?

No need to remove this line.
