Adding another qlobal per-cpu queue can lead to wasteful creating
of too many kernel threads in system (system with many cores etc.)
I have similar patches in my tree where the queues are created
per crypt device (so every crypt device create two single-threaded
queues).
(And I am thinking about future support of barriers - it can be
really complicated with global workqueue too.)

also flush_workqueue(_kcryptd_io_workqueue) in crypt_dtr should be there.
