Tasklets have long been deprecated as being too heavy on the system
by running in irq context - and this is not a performance critical
path. If a higher priority process wants to run, it must wait for
the tasklet to finish before doing so. A more suitable equivalent
is to converted to threaded irq instead and deal with the async
work in task context.

looks good.

So if you move it away from from tasklet you can replace the spin_lock_bh()
with spin_lock() since BH does not matter anymore. Except if there is a
timer because it matters for a timer_list timer which is invoked in
softirq context. This isn't the case except that there is a hrtimer
invoking ibmvscsis_service_wait_q(). This is bad because a hrtimer is
which is invoked in hard-irq context so a BH lock must not be acquired.
lockdep would scream here. You could use HRTIMER_MODE_REL_SOFT which
would make it a BH timer. Then you could keep the BH locking but
actually you want to get rid of it ;)
