[PATCH 5.10 312/545] staging: rtl8192u: Fix sleep in atomic context bug in dm_fsync_timer_callback

[ Upstream commit 6a0c054930d554ad8f8044ef1fc856d9da391c81 ]

There are sleep in atomic context bugs when dm_fsync_timer_callback is
executing. The root cause is that the memory allocation functions with
GFP_KERNEL or GFP_NOIO parameters are called in dm_fsync_timer_callback
which is a timer handler. The call paths that could trigger bugs are
shown below:

(interrupt context)
dm_fsync_timer_callback
write_nic_byte
kzalloc(sizeof(data), GFP_KERNEL); //may sleep
usb_control_msg
kmalloc(.., GFP_NOIO); //may sleep
write_nic_dword
kzalloc(sizeof(data), GFP_KERNEL); //may sleep
usb_control_msg
kmalloc(.., GFP_NOIO); //may sleep

This patch uses delayed work to replace timer and moves the operations
that may sleep into the delayed work in order to mitigate bugs.
