Subject: [PATCH 25/32] ext4: convert to alloc_workqueue()

Convert create_workqueue() to alloc_workqueue().  This is an identity
conversion.

It might be helpful to use higher max concurrency.  I don't think it
would make a lot of difference tho.  Please feel free to take it into
the subsystem tree or simply ack - I'll route it through the wq tree.

Thanks.
