Depending on if we expect there to actually be wakeups, you could do
something like:

	if (wq_has_sleepers(&q->mq_freeze_wq))
		swork_queue(&q->mq_pcpu_wake));

avoiding the whole workqueue thing in the case there wasn't anybody
waiting for it. But since I don't know this code, I can't say if it
makes sense or not. Tejun?
