[PATCH 1/2] Workqueue: mm: replace use of system_wq with system_percpu_wq

[Marco Crivellari <marco.crivellari@suse.com>]

Currently if a user enqueue a work item using schedule_delayed_work() the
used wq is "system_wq" (per-cpu wq) while queue_delayed_work() use
WORK_CPU_UNBOUND (used when a cpu is not specified). The same applies to
schedule_work() that is using system_wq and queue_work(), that makes use
again of WORK_CPU_UNBOUND.

This lack of consistentcy cannot be addressed without refactoring the API.

system_wq is a per-CPU worqueue, yet nothing in its name tells about that
CPU affinity constraint, which is very often not required by users.
Make it clear by adding a system_percpu_wq to all the mm subsystem.

The old wq will be kept for a few release cylces.
