Subject: [PATCH 2/2] workqueues: export keventd_wq

Export keventd_wq. Otherwise, any helper on top of queue_work() has
to be copy-and-pasted to create the version which uses keventd_wq.

Note: we can do more cleanups with this change and kill EXPORT_SYMBOLs,
almost any function which currently uses keventd_wq can become the
trivial inline.
