/*

Usage:

insmod /workqueue_cheat.ko

# dmesg => worker

rmmod workqueue_cheat

Creates a separate thread. So init_module can return, but some work will still get done.

Can't call this just workqueue.c because there is already a built-in with that name:

Workqueues are a convenience frontend for kthreads.
