Subject: [PATCH 4/8] backtracetest: Convert from tasklet to BH workqueue

The only generic interface to execute asynchronously in the BH context is
tasklet; however, it's marked deprecated and has some design flaws. To
replace tasklets, BH workqueue support was recently added. A BH workqueue
behaves similarly to regular workqueues except that the queued work items
are executed in the BH context.

This patch converts backtracetest from tasklet to BH workqueue.

- Replace "irq" with "bh" in names and message to better reflect what's
  happening.

- Replace completion usage with a flush_work() call.
