rt2x00: Convert rt2400pci interrupt handling to use tasklets
Fix interrupt processing on slow machines by using individual tasklets
for each different device interrupt. This ensures that while a RX or TX
status tasklet is scheduled only the according device interrupt is
masked and other interrupts such as TBTT can still be processed.
Also, this allows us to use tasklet_hi_schedule for TBTT processing
which is required to not send out beacons with a wrong DTIM count (due
to delayed periodic beacon updates). Furthermore, this improves the
latency between the TBTT and sending out buffered multi- and broadcast
traffic.
As a nice bonus, the interrupt handling overhead should be much lower.
Compile-tested only.
