Rather than having special case code for opportunistically calling
process_csb() and performing a direct submit while holding the engine
spinlock for submitting the request, simply call the tasklet directly.
This allows us to retain the direct submission path, including the CS
draining to allow fast/immediate submissions, without requiring any
duplicated code paths, and most importantly greatly simplifying the
control flow by removing reentrancy. This will enable us to close a few
races in the virtual engines in the next few patches.
The trickiest part here is to ensure that paired operations (such as
schedule_in/schedule_out) remain under consistent locking domains,
e.g. when pulled outside of the engine->active.lock
v2: Use bh kicking, see commit 3c53776e29f8 ("Mark HI and TASKLET
softirq synchronous").
v3: Update engine-reset to be tasklet aware

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
