[PATCH] can: mcp251x: Replace create_freezable_workqueue with alloc_workqueue

[Amitoj Kaur Chawla]

Replace scheduled to be removed create_freezable_workqueue with
alloc_workqueue.

priv->wq should be explicitly set as freezable to ensure it is frozen
in the suspend sequence and work items are drained so that no new work
item starts execution until thawed. Thus, use of WQ_FREEZABLE flag here 
is required.

The order of execution is not important so set @max_active as 0.

Can you please mention why it's okay to drop the WQ_MEM_RECLAIM part?
Otherwise, it looks good to me.

Thanks!

in the suspend sequence and work items are drained so that no new work
item starts execution until thawed. Thus, use of WQ_FREEZABLE flag

WQ_MEM_RECLAIM flag has been set here to ensure forward progress
