Subject: [PATCH v2] iwlwifi: pcie: move rx workqueue initialization to iwl_trans_pcie_alloc()

From: Luca Coelho <luciano.coelho@...el.com>

Work queues cannot be allocated when a mutex is held because the mutex
may be in use and that would make it sleep.  Doing so generates the
following splat with 4.13+:

[   19.513298] ======================================================
[   19.513429] WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected
[   19.513557] 4.13.0-rc5+ #6 Not tainted
[   19.513638] ------------------------------------------------------
[   19.513767] cpuhp/0/12 is trying to acquire lock:
[   19.513867]  (&tz->lock){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff924afebb>] thermal_zone_get_temp+0x5b/0xb0
[   19.514047]
[   19.514047] but task is already holding lock:
[   19.514166]  (cpuhp_state){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff91cc4baa>] cpuhp_thread_fun+0x3a/0x210
[   19.514338]
[   19.514338] which lock already depends on the new lock.

This lock dependency already existed with previous kernel versions,
but it was not detected until commit 49dfe2a67797 ("cpuhotplug: Link
lock stacks for hotplug callbacks") was introduced.
