[PATCH] slow_work_thread() should do the exclusive wait

[Oleg Nesterov]

slow_work_thread() sleeps on slow_work_thread_wq without WQ_FLAG_EXCLUSIVE,
this means that slow_work_enqueue()->__wake_up(nr_exclusive => 1) wakes up
all kslowd threads. Afaics this is not what we want, change slow_work_thread()
to use prepare_to_wait_exclusive().
