Hi,

Out of all the request types we support, we only really have a few
that complete from interrupt context. Yet due to those, we end up needing
to make the completion_lock IRQ safe. If we move those completions
through our task_work infastructure, then we can get rid of the need
to have the completion_lock be IRQ safe. That has benefits for all
users.
