Subject[PATCH v3] iwlwifi: dvm: use alloc_ordered_workqueue()
Date
Use alloc_ordered_workqueue() to allocate the workqueue instead of
create_singlethread_workqueue() since the latter is deprecated and is scheduled
for removal.

There are work items doing related operations that shouldn't be swapped when
queued in a certain order hence preserve the strict execution ordering of a
single threaded (ST) workqueue by switching to alloc_ordered_workqueue().

WQ_MEM_RECLAIM flag is not needed since the worker is not depended
during memory reclaim.

Changes in v3:
* revise commit message about WQ_MEM_RECLAIM
* add 'Acked-by:' from previous feedback
Changes in v2:
* switch from alloc_workqueue() to alloc_ordered_workqueue()
* remove unneeded flags: WQ_MEM_RECLAIM and WQ_HIGHPRI
* update commit message to reflect change
