[PATCH v3 ] remoteproc: Use unbounded workqueue for recovery work

[Mukesh Ojha]

There could be a scenario where there is too much load on a core
(n number of tasks which is affined) or in a case when multiple
rproc subsystem is going for a recovery and they queued recovery
work to one core so even though subsystem are independent there
recovery will be delayed if one of the subsystem recovery work
is taking more time in completing.

If we make this queue unbounded, the recovery work could be picked
on any cpu. This patch try to address this.
