rtlwifi: Fix scheduling while atomic bug
Kernel commits 41affd5 and 6539306 changed the locking in rtl_lps_leave() from a spinlock to a mutex by doing the calls indirectly from a work queue to reduce the time that interrupts were disabled. This change was fine for most systems; however a scheduling while atomic bug was reported in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=903881. The backtrace indicates that routine rtl_is_special(), which calls rtl_lps_leave() in three places was entered in atomic context. These direct calls are replaced by putting a request on the appropriate work queue.
