Subject: [PATCH] kfence: unconditionally use unbound work queue
From:   Marco Elver <elver@google.com>
To:     elver@google.com, akpm@linux-foundation.org
Cc:     glider@google.com, dvyukov@google.com,

Precedence: bulk

Unconditionally use unbound work queue, and not just if
wq_power_efficient is true. Because if the system is idle, KFENCE may
wait, and by being run on the unbound work queue, we permit the
scheduler to make better scheduling decisions and not require pinning
KFENCE to the same CPU upon waking up.

Fixes: 36f0b35d0894 ("kfence: use power-efficient work queue to run delayed work")
