Bhaktipriya Shridhar b59ac9a3db omapfb: panel-dsi-cm: Remove deprecated create_singlethread_workqueue
The workqueue "workqueue" has only a single workitem(&ddata->ulps_work)
and hence doesn't require ordering. Also, it is not being used on a
memory reclaim path. Hence, the singlethreaded workqueue has been
replaced with the use of system_wq.

System workqueues have been able to handle high level of concurrency
for a long time now and hence it's not required to have a singlethreaded
workqueue just to gain concurrency. Unlike a dedicated per-cpu workqueue
created with create_singlethread_workqueue(), system_wq allows multiple
work items to overlap executions even on the same CPU; however, a
per-cpu workqueue doesn't have any CPU locality or global ordering
guarantee unless the target CPU is explicitly specified and thus the
increase of local concurrency shouldn't make any difference.

dsicm_remove() calls dsicm_cancel_ulps_work which uses
cancel_delayed_work() to ensure that there are no pending tasks while
disconnecting the driver.
