Use alloc_ordered_workqueue() to allocate the workqueue instead of create_singlethread_workqueue() since the latter is deprecated and is scheduled for removal.
There are work items doing related operations that shouldn't be swapped when queued in a certain order hence preserve the strict execution ordering of a single threaded (ST) workqueue by switching to alloc_ordered_workqueue(). WQ_MEM_RECLAIM flag is not needed since the worker is not depended during memory reclaim.
