workqueue: increase max_active of keventd and kill current_is_keventd()
Define WQ_MAX_ACTIVE and create keventd with max_active set to half of
it which means that keventd now can process upto WQ_MAX_ACTIVE / 2 - 1
works concurrently. Unless some combination can result in dependency
loop longer than max_active, deadlock won't happen and thus it's
unnecessary to check whether current_is_keventd() before trying to
schedule a work. Kill current_is_keventd().
(Lockdep annotations are broken. We need lock_map_acquire_read_norecurse())
