PATCH 1/1 usb: gadget: uvc: Fix unstarted kthread worker

The behaviour of kthread_create_worker() was recently changed to align with the one of kthread_create(). The kthread worker is created but not awaken by default. This is to allow the use of kthread_affine_preferred() and kthread_bind[_mask]() with kthread workers. In order to keep the old behaviour and wake the kthread up, kthread_run_worker() must be used. All the pre-existing users have been converted, except for UVC that was introduced in the same merge window as the API change.

This results in hangs:

	INFO: task UVCG:82 blocked for more than 491 seconds.
	Tainted: G                T  6.13.0-rc2-00014-gb04e317b5226 #1
	task:UVCG            state:D stack:0     pid:82
	 Call Trace:
	 __schedule
	 schedule
	 schedule_preempt_disabled
	 kthread
	 ? kthread_flush_work
	 ret_from_fork
	 ret_from_fork_asm
	 entry_INT80_32

Fix this with converting UVCG kworker to the new API.
