I think thread info could be removed from cmdq_task. Only
cmdq_task_handle_error() and cmdq_task_insert_into_thread() use
task->thread and caller of both function has the thread info. So you
could just pass thread info into these two function and remove thread
info in cmdq_task.

I think this callback function is equal to mailbox client tx_done
callback. It's better to use already-defined interface rather than
creating your own.

Why sleep here? It looks like a recovery but could 20ms recovery
something? I think warning message is enough because you see the warning
message, and you fix the bug, so no need to recovery anything.
