Subject: [PATCH 4.14 35/43] soc/fsl/qbman: fix issue in qman_delete_cgr_safe()

4.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Madalin Bucur <madalin.bucur@....com>


[ Upstream commit 96f413f47677366e0ae03797409bfcc4151dbf9e ]

The wait_for_completion() call in qman_delete_cgr_safe()
was triggering a scheduling while atomic bug, replacing the
kthread with a smp_call_function_single() call to fix it.
