[PATCH 24/25] net/cdc_ncm: Replace tasklet with softirq hrtimer

[Anna-Maria Gleixner]

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The bh tasklet is used in invoke the hrtimer (cdc_ncm_tx_timer_cb) in
softirq context. This can be also achieved without the tasklet but with
CLOCK_MONOTONIC_SOFT as hrtimer base.
