block: queue work on power efficient wq
Block layer uses workqueues for multiple purposes. There is no real dependency
of scheduling these on the cpu which scheduled them.
On a idle system, it is observed that and idle cpu wakes up many times just to
service this work. It would be better if we can schedule it on a cpu which the
scheduler believes to be the most appropriate one.
This patch replaces normal workqueues with power efficient versions.
