pktgen: make sure that pktgen_thread_worker has been executed

The following courruption can happen during pktgen stop:
list_del corruption. prev->next should be ffff81007e8a5e70, but was 6b6b6b6b6b6b6b6b
kernel BUG at lib/list_debug.c:67!

      ? kthread+0x0/0x80
      ? child_rip+0x0/0x12
RIP  list_del+0x48/0x70

The problem is that pktgen_thread_worker can not be executed if kthread_stop
has been called too early. Insert a completion on the normal initialization
path to make sure that pktgen_thread_worker will gain the control for sure.
