[PATCH 0/6] padata cleanups

From: Daniel Jordan
Date: Tue Jul 14 2020 - 16:14:19 EST


These cleanups save ~5% of the padata text/data and make it a little
easier to use and develop going forward.

In particular, they pave the way to extend padata's multithreading support to
VFIO, a work-in-progress version of which can be found here:

Based on v5.8-rc5. As always, feedback is welcome.
