[PATCH V4 2/4] PHYLIB: queue work on unbound wq

[PATCH V4 2/4] PHYLIB: queue work on unbound wq

[Viresh Kumar]

Phylib uses workqueues for multiple purposes. There is no real dependency of
scheduling these on the cpu which scheduled them.

On a idle system, it is observed that and idle cpu wakes up many times just to
service this work. It would be better if we can schedule it on a cpu which the
scheduler believes to be the most appropriate one.

This patch replaces system_wq with system_unbound_wq for PHYLIB.
