Vincent Guittot 0984d427c1 netfilter: conntrack: use power efficient workqueue
conntrack uses the bounded system_long_wq workqueue for its works that
don't have to run on the cpu they have been queued.
Using bounded workqueue prevents the scheduler to make smart decision about
the best place to schedule the work.

This patch replaces system_long_wq with system_power_efficient_wq. the work
stays bounded to a cpu by default unless the CONFIG_WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT is
enable. In the latter case, the work can be scheduled on the best cpu from
a power or a performance point of view.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
