Hmmm this changes the current behavior a bit right? create_workqueue()
is currently defined as:

alloc_workqueue("%s", __WQ_LEGACY | WQ_MEM_RECLAIM, 1, (name))

I think this should be noted in the changelog, at the very least, even
if it is fine. We should be as explicit as possible about behavior
changes.
