The tasklet is an old API that should be deprecated, usually can be converted to another decent API. This patch replaces the usage of tasklet in pcsp driver with a simple work. In pcsp driver, a global tasklet is used for offloading the period-elapse handling in the hrtimer callback (introduced in commit 96c7d478efad "ALSA: pcsp - Fix locking messes in snd-pcsp"). It can be achieved gracefully with a work queued in the high-prio system workqueue. This also changes tasklet_kill() with cancel_work_sync() in the sync_stop callback, which is anyway better to assure canceling the pending tasks.
