Re: [PATCH 5/8] usb: core: hcd: 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 usb hcd from tasklet to BH workqueue.

In the past this tasklet removal was held up by Mauro's device not properly
streaming - hopefully this no longer the case. Cc'ing.
