This patchset basically re-writes the original patches much or less, and the
normal non-cgroup path is basically not changed compared with before
87579e9b7d8d ("loop: use worker per cgroup instead of kworker").
Original way is to use kthread_work, now it is switched to queue_work()
for unifying the code, but all commands are just added to one list and run
batching in the single worker context, which is very similar with kthread_worker.

Can you share us what your expectations are in the re-write? Such as:

1) no impact on normal non-cgroup path
2) ...
3) ...

Thanks,
Ming
