workqueue: apply __WQ_ORDERED to create_singlethread_workqueue()
create_singlethread_workqueue() is a compat interface for single threaded workqueue which maps to ordered workqueue w/ rescuer in the current implementation. create_singlethread_workqueue() currently implemented by invoking alloc_workqueue() w/ appropriate parameters. 8719dceae2f9 ("workqueue: reject adjusting max_active or applying attrs to ordered workqueues") introduced __WQ_ORDERED to protect ordered workqueues against dynamic attribute changes which can break ordering guarantees but forgot to apply it to create_singlethread_workqueue(). This in itself is okay as nobody currently uses dynamic attribute change on workqueues created with create_singlethread_workqueue(). However, 4c16bd327c ("workqueue: implement NUMA affinity for unbound workqueues") broke singlethreaded guarantee for ordered workqueues through allocating a separate pool_workqueue on each NUMA node by default. A later change 8a2b75384444 ("workqueue: fix ordered workqueues in NUMA setups") fixed it by allocating only one global pool_workqueue if __WQ_ORDERED is set. Combined, the __WQ_ORDERED omission in create_singlethread_workqueue() became critical breaking its single threadedness and ordering guarantee. Let's make create_singlethread_workqueue() wrap alloc_ordered_workqueue() instead so that it inherits __WQ_ORDERED and can implicitly track future ordered_workqueue changes. v2: I missed that __WQ_ORDERED now protects against pwq splitting across NUMA nodes and incorrectly described the patch as a nice-to-have fix to protect against future dynamic attribute usages. Oleg pointed out that this is actually a critical breakage due to 8a2b75384444 ("workqueue: fix ordered workqueues in NUMA setups").
