Subject: [PATCH 6/8] Make non-singlethreaded workqueues freezeable by default
This patch
o Makes all non-singlethreaded workqueues freezeable by default.
o Introduces a new API for creating freeze_exempted workqueues.
o Uses the combination of cancel_delayed_work and cancel_work_sync
in Slab during DOWN_PREPARE instead of cancel_rearming_delayed work,
which tries to flush_workqueue in vain, in a frozen context.
Note:
o The singlethreaded workqueues will not be frozen.
