The call create_workqueue() is obsolete and is being replaced by
alloc_workqueue(). Unfortunately, older kernels do not have the newer call. A
patch for compat-wireless has been submitted, but I don't think the package has
rebuilt successfully since then. You have two options: (1) if you do not need a
driver for the RTL8192CE/RTL8187CE cards, then deselect them from the build, or
(2) Find the line in drivers/net/wireless/rtlwifi/base.c that says
rtlpriv->works.rtl_wq = alloc_workqueue(rtlpriv->cfg->name, 0, 0);
and replace it with
rtlpriv->works.rtl_wq = create_workqueue(rtlpriv->cfg->name);
