With the possibility of multiple wq drivers that can be bound to the wq,
the user config tool accel-config needs a way to know which wq driver to
bind to the wq. Introduce per wq driver_name sysfs attribute where the user
can indicate the driver to be bound to the wq. This allows accel-config to
just bind to the driver using wq->driver_name.

It's confused to use "WQ_NAME_SIZE" for driver name size.
Maybe it's better to have a new definition "DRIVER_NAME_SIZE"?
BTW, WQ_NAME_SIZE is 1024 which is unnecessary big for storing driver_name[] in the structure. It would be better to have a smaller size (e.g. 128) in DRIVER_NAME_SIZE.

Thanks.
