[PATCH] dm-bufio: Remove deprecated create_singlethread_workqueue

From: Bhaktipriya Shridhar <hidden>
Date: 2016-08-30 16:49:19
Also in: dm-devel, lkml
Subsystem: device-mapper (lvm), the rest · Maintainers: Alasdair Kergon, Mike Snitzer, Mikulas Patocka, Benjamin Marzinski, Linus Torvalds

The workqueue "dm_bufio_wq" queues a single work item &dm_bufio_work and
hence it doesn't require execution ordering. Hence, alloc_workqueue has
been used to replace the deprecated create_singlethread_workqueue instance.

The WQ_MEM_RECLAIM flag has been set since md / dm are block multi disk
drivers and require forward progress under memory pressure.

Since there are fixed number of work items, explicit concurrency
limit is unnecessary here.
