Subject: [PATCH 3.16 266/328] bcache: Remove deprecated create_workqueue

3.16.62-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Bhaktipriya Shridhar <bhaktipriya96@...il.com>

commit 81baf90af2dcc8259e99e2f236024524b55313fc upstream.

alloc_workqueue replaces deprecated create_workqueue().

Dedicated workqueues have been used since bcache_wq and moving_gc_wq
are workqueues for writes and are being used on a memory reclaim path.
WQ_MEM_RECLAIM has been set to ensure forward progress under memory
pressure.
Since there are only a fixed number of work items, explicit concurrency
limit is unnecessary here.
