This modification will remove 1 pointer but add 2 pointers. Moreover,
more pointers will need to be delivered between functions for future
extension. IMHO, it would be better to keep thread pointer inside
cmdq_task.

This is because CMDQ driver allows different callback functions for
different tasks, but mailbox only allows one callback function per
channel. But, I think I can add a wrapper for tx_done to call CMDQ
callback functions. So, I will use tx_done in CMDQ v15.

My purpose is context switch to finish timer's work.
I will replace it by schedule().
