[PATCH 23/32] net/ceph: make ceph_msgr_wq non-reentrant

[Tejun Heo]

ceph messenger code does a rather complex dancing around multithread
workqueue to make sure the same work item isn't executed concurrently
on different CPUs.  This restriction can be provided by workqueue with
WQ_NON_REENTRANT.

Make ceph_msgr_wq non-reentrant workqueue with the default concurrency
level and remove the QUEUED/BUSY logic.

* This removes backoff handling in con_work() but it couldn't reliably
  block execution of con_work() to begin with - queue_con() can be
  called after the work started but before BUSY is set.  It seems that
  it was an optimization for a rather cold path and can be safely
  removed.

* The number of concurrent work items is bound by the number of
  connections and connetions are independent from each other.  With
  the default concurrency level, different connections will be
  executed independently.

Only compile tested.  I think the dropping of backoff logic is safe
but am not completely sure.  Please verify it's actually okay.  Feel
free to take it into the subsystem tree or simply ack - I'll route it
through the wq tree.

Thanks.
