[PATCH 6/7] brcm80211: smac: remove firmware requests from init_module syscall

["Arend van Spriel" <arend@broadcom.com>]

As indicated in [1] on netdev mailing list drivers should not block
on the init_module() syscall. This patch defers the actual driver
registration to a workqueue so the init_module() syscall can complete
without delay.
