Pull ordered workqueue creation updates from Tejun Heo: "For historical reasons, unbound workqueues with max concurrency limit of 1 are considered ordered, even though the concurrency limit hasn't been system-wide for a long time. This creates ambiguity around whether ordered execution is actually required for correctness, which was actually confusing for e.g. btrfs (btrfs updates are being routed through the btrfs tree). There aren't that many users in the tree which use the combination and there are pending improvements to unbound workqueue affinity handling which will make inadvertent use of ordered workqueue a bigger loss. This clarifies the situation for most of them by updating the ones which require ordered execution to use alloc_ordered_workqueue().
