    workqueue: increase max_active of keventd and kill current_is_keventd() · b71ab8c2
    Tejun Heo authored
    Define WQ_MAX_ACTIVE and create keventd with max_active set to half of
    it which means that keventd now can process upto WQ_MAX_ACTIVE / 2 - 1
    works concurrently.  Unless some combination can result in dependency
    loop longer than max_active, deadlock won't happen and thus it's
    unnecessary to check whether current_is_keventd() before trying to
    schedule a work.  Kill current_is_keventd().
    
    (Lockdep annotations are broken.  We need lock_map_acquire_read_norecurse())
