A recent change created a dedicated workqueue for the state-change work
with WQ_HIGHPRI (no strong reason for that) and WQ_MEM_RECLAIM flags,
but the state-change work (mhi_pm_st_worker) does not guarantee forward
progress under memory pressure, and will even wait on various memory
allocations when e.g. creating devices, loading firmware, etc... The
work is then not part of a memory reclaim path...
Moreover, this causes a warning in check_flush_dependency() since we end
up in code that flushes a non-reclaim workqueue:
[ 40.969601] workqueue: WQ_MEM_RECLAIM mhi_hiprio_wq:mhi_pm_st_worker [mhi] is flushing !WQ_MEM_RECLAIM events_highpri:flush_backlog

Fix looks good to me but I want Bhaumik to share his review since he
authored the offending patch.

We have seen this internally as well. I agree this patch needs to go in.
We had previously seen issues using global workqueue hence decided to
move to a
dedicated one with WQ_HIGHPRI in order to speed up execution of the
worker when
a certain task is queued. For example, handling SBL or power down needs
to be
done promptly.
