Subject: [PATCH] drm/exynos: Remove deprecated create_singlethread_workqueue

The workqueue g2d_workq has only a single workitem(&g2d->runqueue_work)
and hence doesn't require ordering. Also, it is not being used on a
memory reclaim path. Hence, the singlethreaded workqueue has been
replaced with the use of system_wq.

System workqueues have been able to handle high level of concurrency
for a long time now and hence it's not required to have a singlethreaded
workqueue just to gain concurrency. Unlike a dedicated per-cpu workqueue
created with create_singlethread_workqueue(), system_wq allows multiple
work items to overlap executions even on the same CPU; however, a
per-cpu workqueue doesn't have any CPU locality or global ordering
guarantee unless the target CPU is explicitly specified and thus the
increase of local concurrency shouldn't make any difference.

Occurences of the label err_destroy_workqueue have also been removed
because with the usage of system_wq, calls to destroy_workqueue() have
been dropped, which makes the label unnecessary.

Work item has been flushed in g2d_remove() to ensure that nothing is
pending when the driver disconnects.
