Subject: [PATCH 3/3] kfence: use power-efficient work queue to run delayed work
From:   Marco Elver <elver@google.com>
To:     elver@google.com, akpm@linux-foundation.org
Cc:     glider@google.com, dvyukov@google.com, jannh@google.com,

Precedence: bulk

Use the power-efficient work queue, to avoid the pathological case where
we keep pinning ourselves on the same possibly idle CPU on systems that
want to be power-efficient [1].
