Commit 1a5645bc (connector: create connector workqueue only while
needed once) implements lazy workqueue creation for connector
workqueue. With cmwq now in place, lazy workqueue creation doesn't
make much sense while adding a lot of complexity. Remove it and
allocate an ordered workqueue during initialization.
This also removes a call to flush_scheduled_work() which is deprecated
and scheduled to be removed.

1a5645bc Tue Feb 03 01:22:04 CST 2009 Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> connector: create connector workqueue only while needed once
The netlink connector uses its own workqueue to relay the datas sent
from userspace to the appropriate callback. If you launch the test
from Documentation/connector and change it a bit to send a high flow
of data, you will see thousands of events coming to the "cqueue"
workqueue by looking at the workqueue tracer.
This flow of events can be sent very quickly. So, to not encumber the
kevent workqueue and delay other jobs, the "cqueue" workqueue should
remain.
But this workqueue is pointless most of the time, it will always be
created (assuming you have built it of course) although only
developpers with specific needs will use it.
So avoid this "most of the time useless task", this patch proposes to
create this workqueue only when needed once. The first jobs to be
sent to connector callbacks will be sent to kevent while the "cqueue"
thread creation will be scheduled to kevent too.
The following jobs will continue to be scheduled to keventd until the
cqueue workqueue is created, and then the rest of the jobs will
continue to perform as usual, through this dedicated workqueue.
Each time I tested this patch, only the first event was sent to
keventd, the rest has been sent to cqueue which have been created
quickly.
Also, this patch fixes some trailing whitespaces on the connector files.
