android: binder: Remove deprecated create_singlethread_workqueue
The workqueue is being used to run deferred work for the android binder. The "binder_deferred_workqueue" queues only a single work item and hence does not require ordering. Also, this workqueue is not being used on a memory recliam path. Hence, the singlethreaded workqueue has been replaced with the use of system_wq. System workqueues have been able to handle high level of concurrency for a long time now and hence it's not required to have a singlethreaded workqueue just to gain concurrency. Unlike a dedicated per-cpu workqueue created with create_singlethread_workqueue(), system_wq allows multiple work items to overlap executions even on the same CPU; however, a per-cpu workqueue doesn't have any CPU locality or global ordering guarantee unless the target CPU is explicitly specified and thus the increase of local concurrency shouldn't make any difference.
