Having one work queue for receive mode configuration ndo_set_rx_mode() call for all VFs results in making each of them wait till the set_rx_mode() call completes for another VF if any of close, set receive mode and change flags calls being already invoked. Potentially this could cause device state change before appropriate call of receive mode configuration completes, so the call itself became meaningless, corrupt data or break configuration sequence. We don't need any delays in NIC VF configuration sequence so having delayed work call with 0 delay has no sense. This commit is to implement one work queue for each NIC VF for set_rx_mode task and to let them work independently and replacing delayed_work with work_struct.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
