May I ask did it test with different setup since the test results
in the original commit message are:

+-------------------------+-----------+----------------+---------+
|                         | workqueue | kthread_worker |  diff   |
+-------------------------+-----------+----------------+---------+
| Average (us)            |     15253 |           2914 | -80.89% |
| Median (us)             |     14001 |           2912 | -79.20% |
| Minimum (us)            |      3117 |           1027 | -67.05% |
| Maximum (us)            |     30170 |           3805 | -87.39% |
| Standard deviation (us) |      7166 |            359 |         |
+-------------------------+-----------+----------------+---------+

Otherwise it looks good to me for now, hopefully helpful to Android
users.

Thanks,
Gao Xiang
