Subject: [PATCH 3/6] workqueue: gut system_nrt[_freezable]_wq()

Now that all workqueues are non-reentrant, system[_freezable]_wq() are
equivalent to system_nrt[_freezable]_wq().  Replace the latter with
wrappers around system[_freezable]_wq().  The wrapping goes through
inline functions so that __deprecated can be added easily.
