Subject: [PATCH net v2] net: wireless: marvell: mwifiex: fix sleep in atomic context bugs

There are sleep in atomic context bugs when uploading device dump
data on usb interface. The root cause is that the operations that
may sleep are called in fw_dump_timer_fn which is a timer handler.
The call tree shows the execution paths that could lead to bugs:

   (Interrupt context)
fw_dump_timer_fn
  mwifiex_upload_device_dump
    dev_coredumpv(..., GFP_KERNEL)
      dev_coredumpm()
        kzalloc(sizeof(*devcd), gfp); //may sleep
        dev_set_name
          kobject_set_name_vargs
            kvasprintf_const(GFP_KERNEL, ...); //may sleep
            kstrdup(s, GFP_KERNEL); //may sleep

This patch moves the operations that may sleep into a work item.
The work item will run in another kernel thread which is in
process context to execute the bottom half of the interrupt.
So it could prevent atomic context from sleeping.
