Using dedicated workqueue or system_wq doesn't make any difference in
terms of execution latency anymore.  Sleeping work items no longer
delay execution of other work items.  If mailbox is very latency
sensitive, it might make sense to create a HIGHPRI workqueue but that
usually isn't necessary.

Thank you.
