      net: ethernet: wiznet: Remove create_workqueue · 41cae08c

      alloc_workqueue replaces deprecated create_workqueue().
      
      A dedicated workqueue has been used since the workitems are involved
      in normal device operation. Workitems &priv->rx_work and &priv->tx_work,
      map to w5100_rx_work and w5100_tx_work respectively and are involved in
      receiving and transmitting packets. Forward progress under
      memory pressure is a requirement here.
      
      create_workqueue has been replaced with alloc_workqueue with max_active
      as 0 since there is no need for throttling the number of active work
      items.
      
      Since the driver may be used in memory reclaim path,
      WQ_MEM_RECLAIM has been set to guarantee forward progress.
      
      flush_workqueue is unnecessary since destroy_workqueue() itself calls
      drain_workqueue() which flushes repeatedly till the workqueue
      becomes empty. Hence the call to flush_workqueue() has been dropped.
