    System workqueues have been able to handle high level of concurrency
    for a long time now and there's no reason to use dedicated workqueues
    just to gain concurrency. Since the workqueue host->intr_wq is involved
    in sync point interrupts, and sync point wait and is not being used on
    a memory reclaim path, dedicated host->intr_wq has been replaced with the
    use of system_wq.
    
    Unlike a dedicated per-cpu workqueue created with create_workqueue(),
    system_wq allows multiple work items to overlap executions even on
    the same CPU; however, a per-cpu workqueue doesn't have any CPU
    locality or global ordering guarantees unless the target CPU is
    explicitly specified and thus the increase of local concurrency
    shouldn't make any difference.
    
    cancel_work_sync() has been used  in _host1x_free_syncpt_irq() to ensure
    that no work is pending by the time exit path runs.
