Subject: [PATCH 3.16.y-ckt 097/254] libceph: ceph-msgr workqueue needs a resque worker

3.16.7-ckt2 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Ilya Dryomov <idryomov@...hat.com>

commit f9865f06f7f18c6661c88d0511f05c48612319cc upstream.

Commit f363e45fd118 ("net/ceph: make ceph_msgr_wq non-reentrant")
effectively removed WQ_MEM_RECLAIM flag from ceph_msgr_wq.  This is
wrong - libceph is very much a memory reclaim path, so restore it.
