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 workqueue has no benefits being per-CPU, so make it unbound adding
WQ_UNBOUND, removing also the WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT flag.
