Subject: [PATCH 4.19 36/56] scsi: storvsc: Remove WQ_MEM_RECLAIM from storvsc_error_wq

From: Saurabh Sengar <ssengar@...ux.microsoft.com>

commit d957e7ffb2c72410bcc1a514153a46719255a5da upstream.

storvsc_error_wq workqueue should not be marked as WQ_MEM_RECLAIM as it
doesn't need to make forward progress under memory pressure.  Marking this
workqueue as WQ_MEM_RECLAIM may cause deadlock while flushing a
non-WQ_MEM_RECLAIM workqueue.  In the current state it causes the following
warning:
