mlxsw: core: Remove deprecated create_workqueue
alloc_workqueue replaces deprecated create_workqueue().
A dedicated workqueue has been used since the workqueue
mlxsw_wq is used for FDB notif. processing with workitems that are
involved in normal device operation && because it's a network device
which can be depended upon during memory reclaim.
Workitems &trans->timeout_dw and &mlxsw_sp->fdb_notify.dw,
map to mlxsw_sp_fdb_notify_work (processes FDB notifications from the
underlying device and resolves the netdev to which the entry points to
and notifies the bridge using the switchdev notifier) and
mlxsw_emad_trans_timeout_work (provides async EMAD register access)
respectively. They require forward progress under memory pressure and
hence, WQ_MEM_RECLAIM has been set.
Since there are only a fixed number of work items, explicit concurrency
limit is unnecessary here.
