scsi: ufs: Add clock ungating to a separate workqueue
UFS driver can receive a request during memory reclaim by kswapd. So when ufs driver puts the ungate work in queue, and if there are no idle workers, kthreadd is invoked to create a new kworker. Since kswapd task holds a mutex which kthreadd also needs, this can cause a deadlock situation. So ungate work must be done in a separate work queue with WQ_MEM_RECLAIM flag enabled. Such a workqueue will have a rescue thread which will be called when the above deadlock condition is possible.
