firewire: core: use non-reentrant workqueue with rescuer



firewire-core manages the following types of work items:

fw_card.br_work:
  - resets the bus on a card and possibly sends a PHY packet before that
  - does not sleep for long or not at all
  - is scheduled via fw_schedule_bus_reset() by
      - firewire-ohci's pci_probe method
      - firewire-ohci's set_config_rom method, called by kernelspace
        protocol drivers and userspace drivers which add/remove
	Configuration ROM descriptors
      - userspace drivers which use the bus reset ioctl
      - itself if the last reset happened less than 2 seconds ago

fw_card.bm_work:
  - performs bus management duties
  - usually does not (but may in corner cases) sleep for long
  - is scheduled via fw_schedule_bm_work() by
      - firewire-ohci's self-ID-complete IRQ handler tasklet
      - firewire-core's fw_device.work instances whenever the root node
        device was (successfully or unsuccessfully) discovered,
	refreshed, or rediscovered
      - itself in case of resource allocation failures or in order to
        obey the 125ms bus manager arbitration interval

fw_device.work:
  - performs node probe, update, shutdown, revival, removal; including
    kernel driver probe, update, shutdown and bus reset notification to
    userspace drivers
  - usually sleeps moderately long, in corner cases very long
  - is scheduled by
      - firewire-ohci's self-ID-complete IRQ handler tasklet via the
        core's fw_node_event
      - firewire-ohci's pci_remove method via core's fw_destroy_nodes/
        fw_node_event
      - itself during retries, e.g. while a node is powering up

iso_resource.work:
  - accesses registers at the Isochronous Resource Manager node
  - usually does not (but may in corner cases) sleep for long
  - is scheduled via schedule_iso_resource() by
      - the owning userspace driver at addition and removal of the
        resource
      - firewire-core's fw_device.work instances after bus reset
      - itself in case of resource allocation if necessary to obey the
        1000ms reallocation period after bus reset

fw_card.br_work instances should not, and instances of the others must
not, be executed in parallel by multiple CPUs -- but were not protected
against that.  Hence allocate a non-reentrant workqueue for them.

fw_device.work may be used in the memory reclaim path in case of SBP-2
device updates.  Hence we need a workqueue with rescuer and cannot use
system_nrt_wq.
