char: xillybus: Don't destroy workqueue from work item running on it

CVE-2024-45007

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

char: xillybus: Don't destroy workqueue from work item running on it

Triggered by a kref decrement, destroy_workqueue() may be called from within a work item for destroying its own workqueue. This illegal situation is averted by adding a module-global workqueue for exclusive use of the offending work item. Other work items continue to be queued on per-device workqueues to ensure performance.
