Subject: [PATCH] Use single threaded work queue for hid_compat

Use single threaded work queue for hid_compat

I doubt HID really needs to scale over multiple CPUs. So only use a
single threaded workqueue for HID_COMPAT. This avoids some excessive
thread use on systems with a larger number of CPUs.

Should still go into 2.6.28 if possible.
