This is potentially long running and not latency sensitive, let's get
it out of the way of other latency sensitive events.
As observed in the previous commit, the `system_wq` comes easily
congested by bcache, and this fixes a few more stalls I was observing
every once in a while.
Let's not make this `WQ_MEM_RECLAIM` as it showed to reduce performance
of boot and file system operations in my tests. Also, without
`WQ_MEM_RECLAIM`, I no longer see desktop stalls. This matches the
previous behavior as `system_wq` also does no memory reclaim:
> // workqueue.c:
> system_wq = alloc_workqueue("events", 0, 0);

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
