Workqueues are run out of poller_call, not because of a dependency, but
because when they were added, poller_call was directly called from
is_timeout.
With the addition of bthreads, there is now a general resched() function
that runs pollers and switches between bthreads. It makes sense to move
workqueue handling there as well to keep scheduling matter contained in
a single function. Do so.

With the new setjmp/longjmp/initjmp support, we have all the
architecture support in place to have suspendable green
threads in barebox. These are expected to replace pollers and
workqueues. For now we still have a differentiation between
the main and secondary threads. The main thread is allowed
I/O access unconditionally. If it's in a delay loop, a secondary
thread running needs to be wary of not entering the same driver
and doing hardware manipulation. We already have slices as
mechanism to guard against this, but they aren't used as widely
as needed.
Preferably, in the end, threads will automatically yield until
they can claim a resource (i.e. lock a mutex). Until we are there,
take the same care when using bthreads as with pollers.

We won't replace pollers with bthreads completely over night. To make
migration easier, replace explicit calls to poller_call with a new
resched() function. This can be made to call bthread_reschedule() in
future and eventually replaced with bthread_reschedule() once pollers
are removed.
