_scsih_fw_event_cleanup_queue() waits for all outstanding firmware
events wokrqueue handlers to finish. If in_interrupt() is true, it
cancels itself and return early.

That in_interrupt() check is ill-defined and does not provide what the
name suggests: it does not cover all states in which it is safe to block
and call functions like cancel_work_sync().

That check is also not needed: _scsih_fw_event_cleanup_queue() is always
invoked from process context. Below is an analysis of its callers:

  - scsih_remove(), bound to PCI ->remove(), process context

  - scsih_shutdown(), bound to PCI ->shutdown(), process context

  - mpt3sas_scsih_clear_outstanding_scsi_tm_commands(), called by
      => _base_clear_outstanding_commands(), called by
        =>_base_fault_reset_work(), workqueue
        => mpt3sas_base_hard_reset_handler(), locks mutex

Remove the in_interrupt() check. Change _scsih_fw_event_cleanup_queue()
specification to a purely process-context function and mark it with
"Context: task, can sleep".
