Hmmm... but you're already using WQ_UNBOUND.  Concurrency management
doesn't matter for unbound workqueues.  They really just behave as
shared worker thread pools.  Does turning on WQ_HIGHPRI change
anything?  Workqueue always prefers hot workers which can lead to the
hot ones being penalized for consuming too much CPU time.

Thanks.
