> This patch continues the effort to refactor workqueue APIs, which has begun with
> the changes introducing new workqueues and a new alloc_workqueue flag:
>
> commit 128ea9f6ccfb ("workqueue: Add system_percpu_wq and
> system_dfl_wq")
> commit 930c2ea566af ("workqueue: Add new WQ_PERCPU flag")
>
> The point of the refactoring is to eventually alter the default behavior of
> workqueues to become unbound by default so that their workload placement is
> optimized by the scheduler.
>
> Before that to happen after a careful review and conversion of each individual
> case, workqueue users must be converted to the better named new workqueues
> with no intended behaviour changes:
>
> system_wq -> system_percpu_wq
> system_unbound_wq -> system_dfl_wq
>
> This way the old obsolete workqueues (system_wq, system_unbound_wq) can be
> removed in the future.
