Subject: [PATCH] RU: stop RF after all threads finished

If we do not stop RF after all threads, it can happen that the RF is
finished, but another thread of the RU (e.g., reorder thread) tries to
send out a package to the RF. This can lead to a segfault, as observed
in UHD, because we free all resources before reusing them.

This commit fixes this behavior.
