5.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 3e7917c0cdad835a5121520fc5686d954b7a61ab ]

linkwatch_event() grabs possibly very contended RTNL mutex.

system_wq is not suitable for such work.

Inspired by many noisy syzbot reports.
