We originally created the irqfd-cleanup-wq so that we could safely implement a shutdown that blocked on outstanding injection-requests that may have been in flight. We couldn't reuse something like kevent to shutdown since the injection path was also using kevent and that may have caused a deadlock if we tried. Since the injection path is now no longer utilizing a work-item, it is no longer necessary to maintain a separate cleanup WQ. The standard kevent queues should be sufficient, and thus we can eliminate an extra kthread from the system.
