yep, should be fine doing this:

#define create_workqueue(name) \
({ \
static struct lock_class_key __key; \
\
__create_workqueue((name), 0, 0, &__key); \
})

(and the return value of __create_workqueue() will be the 'return value'
of the macro as well.)

the above macro should at minimum be encapsulated with
do { ... } while (0) so that __create_workqueue() is a single C
statement.
