Subject: PM / Runtime: Use alloc_workqueue() for creating PM workqueue

Although we need the PM workqueue to be freezable, we don't need it
to be singlethread.  Also, the number of concurrent work items
running on a single CPU need not be constrained.  For these reasons
use alloc_workqueue() directly, with suitable arguments, instead of
create_freezeable_workqueue(), to create the runtime PM workqueue.

Tejun,

I'm not sure about that WQ_RESCUER thing.  Can you please tell me what
exactly it is for?

Thanks,
Rafael
