workqueue: s/__create_workqueue()/alloc_workqueue()/, and add system workqueues

This patch makes changes to make new workqueue features available to
its users.

* Now that workqueue is more featureful, there should be a public
  workqueue creation function which takes paramters to control them.
  Rename __create_workqueue() to alloc_workqueue() and make 0
  max_active mean WQ_DFL_ACTIVE.  In the long run, all
  create_workqueue_*() will be converted over to alloc_workqueue().

* To further unify access interface, rename keventd_wq to system_wq
  and export it.

* Add system_long_wq and system_nrt_wq.  The former is to host long
  running works separately (so that flush_scheduled_work() dosen't
  take so long) and the latter guarantees any queued work item is
  never executed in parallel by multiple CPUs.  These will be used by
  future patches to update workqueue users.
