[PATCH net-next] Octeontx2-af: Add WQ_PERCPU to alloc_workqueue users

From: Marco Crivellari <hidden>
Date: 2026-09-07 09:48:34

This continues the effort to refactor workqueue APIs, which began with
the introduction of new workqueues and a new alloc_workqueue flag in:

    commit 128ea9f6ccfb ("workqueue: Add system_percpu_wq and system_dfl_wq")
    commit 930c2ea566af ("workqueue: Add new WQ_PERCPU flag")

The refactoring is going to alter the default behavior of
alloc_workqueue() to be unbound by default.

With the introduction of the WQ_PERCPU flag (equivalent to !WQ_UNBOUND),
any alloc_workqueue() caller that doesn’t explicitly specify WQ_UNBOUND
must now use WQ_PERCPU. For more details see the Link tag below.

This is also enforced by:

    commit 21c05ca88a548 ("workqueue: Add warnings and ensure one among WQ_PERCPU or WQ_UNBOUND is present")

In order to keep alloc_workqueue() behavior identical, explicitly request
WQ_PERCPU.
