[PATCH v2 36/37] usb/gadget/NCM: Replace tasklet with softirq hrtimer

[Anna-Maria Gleixner]

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The tx_tasklet tasklet is used in invoke the hrtimer (task_timer) in
softirq context. This can be also achieved without the tasklet but
with HRTIMER_MODE_SOFT as hrtimer mode.
