DESCRIPTION
       Allocate a workqueue with the specified parameters. For detailed information on WQ_*
       flags, please refer to Documentation/workqueue.txt.

       The __lock_name macro dance is to guarantee that single lock_class_key doesn't end up with
       different namesm, which isn't allowed by lockdep.
