Fine, I have submitted two patches. The first one create the
drmm_alloc_workqueue and drmm_alloc_ordered_workqueue helpers. And the
second one replace the alloc*workqueue with DRM helpers in
`drivers/gpu/drm/i915/display/intel_display.c`.
If there is no problem in these two, I will submitted the other patches
that replace the alloc*workqueue in other DRM files.

Thanks,
Jiang
