rt2x00: Move TX/RX work into dedicated workqueue
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The TX/RX work structures must be able to run independently
of other workqueues. This is because mac80211 might use
the flush() callback function from various context, which depends
on the TX/RX work to complete while the main thread is blocked
(until the the TX queues are empty).

This should reduce the number of  'Queue %d failed to flush' warnings.
