issuecommand() is using in_atomic() to decide if it is safe to invoke
schedule() while waiting for the command to be accepted.

Usage of in_atomic() for this is only half correct as it can not detect all
condition where it is not allowed to schedule(). Also Linus clearly
requested that code which changes behaviour depending on context should
either be seperated or the context be conveyed in an argument passed by the
caller, which usually knows the context.

Chasing the call chains leading up to issuecommand() is straight forward,
but airo_link() and airo_get_stats() would require to pass the context
through a quite large amount of functions.

As this is ancient hardware, avoid the churn and enforce the invocation of
those functions through the JOB machinery.
