Currently if a user enqueues a work item using schedule_delayed_work() the
used wq is "system_wq" (per-cpu wq) while queue_delayed_work() use
WORK_CPU_UNBOUND (used when a cpu is not specified). The same applies to
schedule_work() that is using system_wq and queue_work(), that makes use
again of WORK_CPU_UNBOUND.

This lack of consistency cannot be addressed without refactoring the API.

This patch continues the effort to refactor worqueue APIs, which has begun
with the change introducing new workqueues and a new alloc_workqueue flag:

commit 128ea9f6ccfb ("workqueue: Add system_percpu_wq and system_dfl_wq")
commit 930c2ea566af ("workqueue: Add new WQ_PERCPU flag")

system_percpu_wq replaced system_wq, so change the wq in iio/adc/pac1934.

The old wq (system_wq) will be kept for a few release cycles.

I'd start these descriptions off by saying the system_wq is deprecated.
Then people are already on the page for there being a necessity to make
a change.

Anyhow, I've seen enough of the discussion of other related patches to
be fine with this.

Applied.

Many thanks, also for the advice!
