Workqueues can be created early during boot before workqueue subsystem
in fully online - work items are queued waiting for later full
initialization. However, early init wasn't supported for
WQ_MEM_RECLAIM workqueues causing unnecessary annoyances for a subset
of users. Expand early init support to include WQ_MEM_RECLAIM
workqueues.
