[PATCH 1/2] block: loop: convert to per-device workqueue

From: Ming Lei
Date: Tue May 05 2015 - 07:52:10 EST


Documentation/workqueue.txt:
If there is dependency among multiple work items used
during memory reclaim, they should be queued to separate
wq each with WQ_MEM_RECLAIM.

Loop devices can be stacked, so we have to convert to per-device
workqueue. One example is Fedora live CD.
