Add drmm_alloc_workqueue() and drmm_alloc_ordered_workqueue(), the helpers

Yeah I think this looks nice.

I'm assuming driver maintainers will pick this up, if not please holler.

Also the threading seems broken, it's not a patch series. The b4 tool or
git send-email (of all the patches of the entire series at once, not each
individually) should get this right.

Unfortunately I did't find the right link in the kernel docs, or at least
they're not as detailed as I hoped.

Also your previous submission had iirc a bunch more patches, do you plan
to include them all in the next patch set?

I have found that some previous patches have already been applied.
Need I just convert alloc*workqueue into drmm_alloc*workqueue and remove
the destroy_workqueue?
Or need I convert all the alloc*workqueue in the DRM?

Thanks,
Jiang

Unless I'm missing something, I don't see that this ever got applied. I have a use for this interface in the qaic driver.

Jiang, are you planning on posting a v2?
