There "long" doesn't mean it's gonna consume a lot of CPU cycles, so
it should contribute to concurrency management. The plan is to remove
system_long_wq once we got rid of flushing of system_wq via
flush_scheduled_work() and directly through flush_workqueue(). I
think we're pretty close, so let's not add more usage of it.

Thanks.
