I see. Why are you doing that? Is there ordering requirement? Why
not just use system_unbound_wq?

In the following execution log you posted,
kworker/u:1-21 [000] 110.964895: task_event: MYTASKJOB2381 XStarted
kworker/u:1-21 [000] 110.964909: task_event: MYTASKJOB2381 Xstopped
kworker/u:1-21 [000] 110.965137: task_event: MYTASKJOB2382 XStarted
kworker/u:1-21 [000] 110.965154: task_event: MYTASKJOB2382 Xstopped
kworker/u:5-3724 [000] 110.965311: task_event: MYTASKJOB2383 XStarted
kworker/u:5-3724 [000] 110.965325: task_event: MYTASKJOB2383 Xstopped
The first two got executed on the same worker thread but the third one
is on a different one. It really looks like you just don't have large
enough work for scheduler to interleave them or migrate workers to
different CPUs.
Thanks.
