Re: [Outreachy kernel] [PATCH v2] iwlwifi: dvm: use alloc_ordered_workqueue()

Use alloc_ordered_workqueue() to allocate the workqueue instead of
create_singlethread_workqueue() since the latter is deprecated and is scheduled
for removal.

There are work items doing related operations that shouldn't be swapped when
queued in a certain order hence preserve the strict execution ordering of a
single threaded (ST) workqueue by switching to alloc_ordered_workqueue().

WQ_MEM_RECLAIM flag is not needed since the worker is not supposed to free
memory.

I think "not depended during memory reclaim" probalby is a better way
to describe it.
