sched: replace INIT_COMPLETION with reinit_completion
For the casual device driver writer, it is hard to remember when to use init_completion (to init a completion structure) or INIT_COMPLETION (to *reinit* a completion structure). Furthermore, while all other completion functions exepct a pointer as a parameter, INIT_COMPLETION does not. To make it easier to remember which function to use and to make code more readable, introduce a new inline function with the proper name and consistent argument type. Update the kernel-doc for init_completion while we are here.
