Subject: [PATCH] can: update can-bcm for hrtimer hardirq callbacks

Since commit ca109491f612aab5c8152207631c0444f63da97f the hrtimer 
callbacks are processed only in hardirq context.

This patch moves some functionality into tasklets to run in softirq context.

Additionally some duplicated code was removed in bcm_rx_thr_flush() and 
an avoidable memcpy was removed from bcm_rx_handler().
