This patch replaces the tasklet implementation with a work
queue implementation while keeping the tasklet API.
The API is still the same, and the drivers don't know that a
work queue is being used.
This is (for now) a proof of concept approach to using work queues
instead of tasklets. More can be done. For one thing, we could make
individual work queues for each tasklet instead of using the global
ktasklet_wq. But for now it's just easier to do this.
