Well, keep in mind that this function, taskqueue_kthread(), is only called
once, when the kthread is forked off.  It then runs in an infinite loop
forever.

So far it doesn't seem like there's any problem with calling msleep() with
a mutex allocated on the stack.

The problem I was having turned out to be that I forgot to deference
periph->softc in dasysctlinit().
