Ok, guys, can you verify my merge? In one branch, we had Tejun change
it to use "alloc_workqueue()", and in another, ext4 switched from
create_workqueue() to create_singlethread_workqueue().

My resolution was to use WQ_UNBOUND in allow_workqueue() in the
resulting merge, which I think should be semantically the correct
resolve. But the commit message in the create_singlethread_workqueue()
change seems to imply that the single-threadedness isn't a
_correctness_ issue as much as it is just a "we don't need multiple
threads" issue, so maybe the WQ_UNBOUND isn't necessary. So WQ_UNBOUND
may or may not be a good idea.

Regardless, please give it a look, ok?
