SubjectRe: [PATCH] workqueue: don't alloc_percpu for single workqueue

Yes, perhaps this makes sense, we can save a bit of per-cpu memory
for each single-threaded wq, and the patch looks correct.

Do we really need to change the prototype of init_cpu_workqueue()
and change then change __create_workqueue_key() accordingly?
Afaics, the only change in init_cpu_workqueue() we need is

- struct cpu_workqueue_struct *cwq = per_cpu_ptr(wq->cpu_wq, cpu);
+ struct cpu_workqueue_struct *cwq = wq_per_cpu(wq, cpu);

no?

again, not sure I understand why this change is needed. Afaics we
only need to use kfree(wq->cpu_wq) instead of free_percpu() if
it is single-threaded.
