irq ver disables preemption where as bh ver does not. In case of OOB
event, idea is not get preempted and this is for short duration of
ringing the channel doorbell.

main problem unprepare_channel and parse_xfer_event have lot in common
due to that we can not let them run in parallel. For example
-parse_xfer_event is working on transfer ring (rp and wp updates)
-parse_xfer_event calling dma_unmap_single on buffer
-__mhi_unprepare_channel() calling mhi_reset_chan() and
mhi_deinit_chan_ctxt().
