    android: binder: Remove deprecated create_singlethread_workqueue · 1beba52d

    The workqueue is being used to run deferred work for the android binder.
    
    The "binder_deferred_workqueue" queues only a single work item and hence
    does not require ordering. Also, this workqueue is not being used on a
    memory recliam path. Hence, the singlethreaded workqueue has been
    replaced with the use of system_wq.
    
    System workqueues have been able to handle high level of concurrency
    for a long time now and hence it's not required to have a singlethreaded
    workqueue just to gain concurrency. Unlike a dedicated per-cpu workqueue
    created with create_singlethread_workqueue(), system_wq allows multiple
    work items to overlap executions even on the same CPU; however, a
    per-cpu workqueue doesn't have any CPU locality or global ordering
    guarantee unless the target CPU is explicitly specified and thus the
    increase of local concurrency shouldn't make any difference.
