[PATCH] scsi: device_handler: Remove create_workqueue

[Bhaktipriya Shridhar]

alloc_workqueue() replaces deprecated create_workqueue().

A dedicated workqueue has been used since the workqueue kaluad_sync_wq
was created with the purpose of STPGs to be submitted synchronously. The
workitem (viz  &pg->rtpg_work which maps to alua_rtpg_work) is involved
in normal device operation and requires forward progress under memory
pressure.

alloc_workqueue() parameters for kaluad_sync_wq are similar to kaluad_wq.
if (pg->flags & ALUA_SYNC_STPG) are set then kaluad_sync_wq is used
else kaluad_wq.

create_workqueue has been replaced with alloc_workqueue with max_active
as 0 since there is no need for throttling the number of active work
items.

Lastly, WQ_MEM_RECLAIM flag has been added to guarantee forward progress
in memory reclaim path.
