David Howells 12e22c5e4b Make the slow work pool configurable 
Make the slow work pool configurable through /proc/sys/kernel/slow-work.

 (*) /proc/sys/kernel/slow-work/min-threads

     The minimum number of threads that should be in the pool as long as it is
     in use.  This may be anywhere between 2 and max-threads.

 (*) /proc/sys/kernel/slow-work/max-threads

     The maximum number of threads that should in the pool.  This may be
     anywhere between min-threads and 255 or NR_CPUS * 2, whichever is greater.

 (*) /proc/sys/kernel/slow-work/vslow-percentage

     The percentage of active threads in the pool that may be used to execute
     very slow work items.  This may be between 1 and 99.  The resultant number
     is bounded to between 1 and one fewer than the number of active threads.
     This ensures there is always at least one thread that can process very
     slow work items, and always at least one thread that won't.
