Input: serio - convert to common workqueue instead of a thread
Instead of creating an exclusive thread to handle serio events (which happen rarely), let's switch to using common workqueue. With the arrival of concurrency-managed workqueue infrastructure we are not concerned that our callers or callees also using workqueue (no deadlocks anymore) and it should reduce total number of threads in the system.
