Subject: block: loop: convert to per-device workqueue
From: Ming Lei <ming.lei@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit f4aa4c7bbac6c4afdd4adccf90898c1a3685396d upstream.
Documentation/workqueue.txt:
If there is dependency among multiple work items used
during memory reclaim, they should be queued to separate
wq each with WQ_MEM_RECLAIM.
Loop devices can be stacked, so we have to convert to per-device
workqueue. One example is Fedora live CD.
