Workqueue don't seem to be using wait_queue_head which is needed when using
wake_up_sync and its related APIs. Also wake_up_sync would work when the
waking task seems to hand off the CPU and goes to sleep/block. However here,
i.e in fsperf case atleast, the waking thread continues to run after it has
woken the per cpu workqueue.
