create_singlethread_workqueue() is a compat interface for singled
threaded workqueue which maps to ordered workqueue w/ rescuer in the
current implementation.  create_singlethread_workqueue() currently
implemented by invoking alloc_workqueue() w/ appropriate parameters.

8719dceae2f9 ("workqueue: reject adjusting max_active or applying
attrs to ordered workqueues") introduced __WQ_ORDERED to protect
ordered workqueues against dynamic attribute changes which can break
ordering guarantees but forgot to apply it to
create_singlethread_workqueue().  While this can be potentially
dangerous, this isn't a problem in practice given the existing uses of
dynamic attribute changes.

Let's make create_singlethread_workqueue() wrap
alloc_ordered_workqueue() instead so that it inherits __WQ_ORDERED and
can implicitly track future ordered_workqueue changes.
