UFS driver can receive a request during memory reclaim by kswapd.
So when ufs driver puts the ungate work in queue, and if there are no
idle workers, kthreadd is invoked to create a new kworker. Since
kswapd task holds a mutex which kthreadd also needs, this can cause
a deadlock situation. So ungate work must be done in a separate
work queue with WQ_MEM_RECLAIM flag enabled.
Such a workqueue will have a rescue thread which will be called
when the above deadlock condition is possible.

Looks good to me.
