dm mpath: move trigger_event to system workqueue
The same workqueue is used both for sending uevents and processing queued I/O. Deadlock has been reported in RHEL5 when sending a uevent was blocked waiting for the queued I/O to be processed. Use scheduled_work() for the asynchronous uevents instead. Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com>
