workqueue: remove WQ_SINGLE_CPU and use WQ_UNBOUND instead
WQ_SINGLE_CPU combined with @max_active of 1 is used to achieve full ordering among works queued to a workqueue. The same can be achieved using WQ_UNBOUND as unbound workqueues always use the gcwq for WORK_CPU_UNBOUND. As @max_active is always one and benefits from cpu locality isn't accessible anyway, serving them with unbound workqueues should be fine. Drop WQ_SINGLE_CPU support and use WQ_UNBOUND instead. Note that most single thread workqueue users will be converted to use multithread or non-reentrant instead and only the ones which require strict ordering will keep using WQ_UNBOUND + @max_active of 1.
