Subject: [PATCH 24/32] dlm: dlm workqueues aren't used in memory reclaim path

dlm isn't depended upon during memory reclaim and so are its two
workqueues.  Convert to alloc[_ordered]_workqueue() without
WQ_MEM_RECLAIM.  While at it, fix workqueue allocation failure
handling.  They return %NULL on failure not ERR_PTR() value.

Only compile tested.  Please feel free to take it into the subsystem
tree or simply ack - I'll route it through the wq tree.

Thanks.
