Tasklets have long been deprecated as being too heavy on the system by running in irq context - and this is not a performance critical path. If a higher priority process wants to run, it must wait for the tasklet to finish before doing so. The completion_bh tasklet will now run in process context and have further concurrency (tasklets being serialized among themselves), but this is done holding the ctlxq.lock, so it should be fine.
