wifi: iwlwifi: mei: avoid blocking sap messages handling due to rtnl …

…lock

[ Upstream commit d288067 ]

The AMT_STATE sap message handler tries to take the rtnl lock.
This means that in case the rtnl lock is already taken, sap messages
will not be processed.
When an interface is brought up, the host requests ownership from
csme. However, since the rtnl lock is already held, if there is a
pending amt state message, the host will not be able to read the
ownership confirm message because the amt state message handler
is pending. As a result, the host fails to get ownership although
csme granted it.
Fix it by moving the part that needs the rtnl lock into a dedicated
worker, so handling sap messages can continue.
