[PATCH 1/9] crypto: engine: workqueue can only be processed one by one

[Corentin Labbe <clabbe.montjoie@gmail.com>]

Some bykeshedding are unnecessary since a workqueue can only be executed
one by one.
This behaviour is documented in:
- kernel/kthread.c: comment of kthread_worker_fn()
- Documentation/core-api/workqueue.rst: the functions associated with the work items one after the other
