[PATCH] remoteproc: Create a separate workqueue for recovery tasks

[Rishabh Bhatnagar]

Create an unbound high priority workqueue for recovery tasks.
Recovery time is an important parameter for a subsystem and there
might be situations where multiple subsystems crash around the same
time. Scheduling into an unbound workqueue increases parallelization
and avoids time impact. Also creating a high priority workqueue
will utilize separate worker threads with higher nice values than
normal ones.
