      KVM: Remove deprecated create_singlethread_workqueue · 3706feac

      The workqueue "irqfd_cleanup_wq" queues a single work item
      &irqfd->shutdown and hence doesn't require ordering. It is a host-wide
      workqueue for issuing deferred shutdown requests aggregated from all
      vm* instances. It is not being used on a memory reclaim path.
      Hence, it has been converted to use system_wq.
      The work item has been flushed in kvm_irqfd_release().
      
      The workqueue "wqueue" queues a single work item &timer->expired
      and hence doesn't require ordering. Also, it is not being used on
      a memory reclaim path. Hence, it has been converted to use system_wq.
      
      System workqueues have been able to handle high level of concurrency
      for a long time now and hence it's not required to have a singlethreaded
      workqueue just to gain concurrency. Unlike a dedicated per-cpu workqueue
      created with create_singlethread_workqueue(), system_wq allows multiple
      work items to overlap executions even on the same CPU; however, a
      per-cpu workqueue doesn't have any CPU locality or global ordering
      guarantee unless the target CPU is explicitly specified and thus the
      increase of local concurrency shouldn't make any difference.
