The workqueues "ioc->reset_work_q" and "ioc->fw_event_q" queue a single work item &ioc->fault_reset_work and &fw_event->work, respectively and hence don't require ordering. Hence, they have been converted to use alloc_workqueue(). The WQ_MEM_RECLAIM flag has been set to ensure forward progress under memory pressure since the workqueue belongs to a storage driver which is being used on a memory reclaim path. Since there are fixed number of work items, explicit concurrency limit is unnecessary here.
