With concurrency managed workqueues, use of dedicated workqueues can be replaced by using system_wq. Drop periodic_controlvm_workqueue by using system_wq. Since there is only one work item periodic_controlvm_work and different periodic_controlvm_works do not need to be ordered, increase of concurrency level by switching to system_wq should not break anything. cancel_delayed_work_sync() is used to ensure that work is not pending or executing on any CPU.
