[PATCH 2/2] sony-laptop - remove private workqueue, use keventd instead

[Mattia Dongili <malattia@linux.it>]

From: Dmitry Torokhov <dmitry.torokhov@gmail.com>

If we reschedule work instead of having work function sleep for 10 msecs
between reads from kfifo we can safely use the main workqueue (keventd)
and not bother with creating driver-private one.
