The workqueue "dm_bufio_wq" queues a single work item &dm_bufio_work and
hence it doesn't require execution ordering. Hence, alloc_workqueue has
been used to replace the deprecated create_singlethread_workqueue instance.
The WQ_MEM_RECLAIM flag has been set since md / dm are block multi disk
drivers and require forward progress under memory pressure.
Since there are fixed number of work items, explicit concurrency
limit is unnecessary here.
