We originally created the irqfd-cleanup-wq so that we could safely
implement a shutdown that blocked on outstanding injection-requests
that may have been in flight. We couldn't reuse something like kevent
to shutdown since the injection path was also using kevent and that may
have caused a deadlock if we tried.
Since the injection path is now no longer utilizing a work-item, it is
no longer necessary to maintain a separate cleanup WQ. The standard
kevent queues should be sufficient, and thus we can eliminate an extra
kthread from the system.
