Subject: [PATCH wq/for-4.5-fixes] workqueue: skip flush dependency checks for
legacy workqueues
fca839c00a12 ("workqueue: warn if memory reclaim tries to flush
!WQ_MEM_RECLAIM workqueue") implemented flush dependency warning which
triggers if a PF_MEMALLOC task or WQ_MEM_RECLAIM workqueue tries to
flush a !WQ_MEM_RECLAIM workquee.
This assumes that workqueues marked with WQ_MEM_RECLAIM sit in memory
reclaim path and making it depend on something which may need more
memory to make forward progress can lead to deadlocks. Unfortunately,
workqueues created with the legacy create*_workqueue() interface
always have WQ_MEM_RECLAIM regardless of whether they are depended
upon memory reclaim or not. These spurious WQ_MEM_RECLAIM markings
cause spurious triggering of the flush dependency checks.

Fix it by marking workqueues created via create*_workqueue() with
__WQ_LEGACY and disabling flush dependency checks on them.
