[RFC] power: supply: Use system freezable queue for power supply change event

[Michael Trimarchi]

I don't find so much change in power_supply_change work and even
this happen in kernel 3.4 I don't find reason why we need to
queue on a system_wq.

[RFC PATCH V2] power: supply: Use system freezable queue for power supply change event

[Michael Trimarchi]

Just before suspend we can get the situation that a user process
is trying to access the sysfs attribute of power supply. During resume
we can hit the situation to have an invalid access to i2c bus that
is still suspended. Make more sense to freeze the workqueue too
