net/neighbour: queue work on power efficient wq
Workqueue used in neighbour layer have no real dependency of scheduling these on the cpu which scheduled them. On a idle system, it is observed that an idle cpu wakes up many times just to service this work. It would be better if we can schedule it on a cpu which the scheduler believes to be the most appropriate one. This patch replaces normal workqueues with power efficient versions. This doesn't change existing behavior of code unless CONFIG_WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT is enabled. Signed-off-by: Viresh Kumar <viresh.kumar@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
