[S390] tape: deadlock on system work queue
The 34xx and 3590 tape driver uses the system work queue to defer work
from the interrupt function to process context, e.g. a medium sense
after an unsolicited interrupt. The tape commands started by the work
handler need to be asynchronous, otherwise a deadlock on the system
work queue can occur.
