Following commit cceb0a597320 ("rtlwifi: Add work queue for c2h cmd."),
the following BUG is reported when rtl8723be is used:

BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at mm/slab.h:432
in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 1, pid: 0, name: swapper/0
CPU: 0 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/0 Tainted: G        W  O    4.11.0-rc3-wl+ #276

Although commit cceb0a597320 converted most c2h commands to use a work
queue, the Bluetooth coexistence routines can be in atomic mode when
they execute such a call.

Kalle,

This patch should be applied to kernel 4.11.

Thanks,

Larry
