Subject: [PATCH 0/2] chelsio: cxgb: Use threaded interrupts for deferred work

Patch #2 fixes an issue in which del_timer_sync() and tasklet_kill() is
invoked from the interrupt handler. This is probably a rare error case
since it disables interrupts / the card in that case.
Patch #1 converts a worker to use a threaded interrupt which is then
also used in patch #2 instead adding another worker for this task (and
flush_work() to synchronise vs rmmod).

This has been only compile tested.
