usb: wusbcore: fix device disconnect on rekey timeout If three or more wireless devices are connected and two of them disconnect between 1-3 seconds apart, it can cause the HWA to disconnect the remaining devices due to failing to see a DN_Alive message from them. This happens because when the HWA detects that the first device is gone, it will attempt to rekey the remaining devices. If one of the devices is not responding because it has also been disconnected but not yet timed out, the synchronous rekey operation running on the wusbd workqueue can block for up to 5 seconds. This will prevent the KEEPALIVE timer from running and DN_Alive messages from being processed because they are processed by the same workqueue. This patch moves the rekey operation to a separate workqueue since it is the only wusb work item that needs to communicate directly with wireless devices. The rest of the WUSB work items either perform no device IO or communicate directly with the host controller and should not be blocked out by a non-responding wireless device.
