xfs: give all workqueues rescuer threads
We're consistently hitting deadlocks here with XFS on recent kernels.
After some digging through the crash files, it looks like everyone in
the system is waiting for XFS to reclaim memory.
Something like this:

xfs_log_force_lsn is waiting for logs to get cleaned, which is waiting
for IO, which is waiting for workers to complete the IO which is waiting
for worker threads that don't exist yet:

I think we should be using WQ_MEM_RECLAIM to make sure this thread
pool makes progress when we're not able to allocate new workers.
