Nope, there is no need for singlethread-ness here.  As long as the flag you 
used 
is doing the right thing i am OK with the patch.

[PATCH] net: pegasus: Remove deprecated create_singlethread_workqueue

[Bhaktipriya Shridhar]

The workqueue "pegasus_workqueue" queues a single work item per pegasus
instance and hence it doesn't require execution ordering. Hence,
alloc_workqueue has been used to replace the deprecated
create_singlethread_workqueue instance.

The WQ_MEM_RECLAIM flag has been set to ensure forward progress under
memory pressure since it's a network driver.

Since there are fixed number of work items, explicit concurrency
limit is unnecessary here.
