Subject: soc/fsl/qbman: fix issue in qman_delete_cgr_safe()
From: Madalin Bucur <madalin.bucur@xxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 96f413f47677366e0ae03797409bfcc4151dbf9e ]
The wait_for_completion() call in qman_delete_cgr_safe()
was triggering a scheduling while atomic bug, replacing the
kthread with a smp_call_function_single() call to fix it.
