Workqueue used in ipv4 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.

irqdomain now supports removal of domains on exit so we can properly clean
up on deletion of a regmap irqchip.

1.8.5.3
With the current implementation, the load average statistics of a sched entity
change according to other activity on the CPU even if this activity is done
between the running window of the sched entity and have no influence on the
running duration of the task.
When a task wakes up on the same CPU, we currently update last_runnable_update
with the return of __synchronize_entity_decay without updating the
runnable_avg_sum and runnable_avg_period accordingly. In fact, we have to sync
the load_contrib of the se with the rq's blocked_load_contrib before removing
it from the latter (with __synchronize_entity_decay) but we must keep
last_runnable_update unchanged for updating runnable_avg_sum/period during the
next update_entity_load_avg.
