workqueue: Add system wide power_efficient workqueues
This patch adds system wide workqueues aligned towards power saving. This is done by allocating them with WQ_UNBOUND flag if 'wq_power_efficient' is set to 'true'. tj: updated comments a bit. Signed-off-by: Viresh Kumar <viresh.kumar@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
