crypto: caam - get rid of tasklet
Threaded interrupts can perform the function of the tasklet, and much
more safely too - without races when trying to take the tasklet and
interrupt down on device removal.
With the old code, there is a window where we call tasklet_kill(). If
the interrupt handler happens to be running on a different CPU, and
subsequently calls tasklet_schedule(), the tasklet will be re-scheduled
for execution.
Switching to a hardirq/threadirq combination implementation avoids this,
and it also means generic code deals with the teardown sequencing of the
threaded and non-threaded parts.
