tty: n_smux: Add RX workqueue to reduce locking
To prevent multiple RX operations from overlapping, locking is currently
used during the entire RX operation which also includes calling the
client get_rx_buffer callback in atomic context.
To reduce locking, the RX processing has been moved to a single-threaded
workqueue which ensures serialization of the RX operations. This
minimizes locking requirements and eliminates locking around
get_rx_buffer allowing the client to use GFP_KERNEL instead of
GFP_ATOMIC for memory allocation.
