/**
 * slow_work_enqueue - Schedule a slow work item for processing
 * @work: The work item to queue
 *
 * Schedule a slow work item for processing.  If the item is already undergoing
 * execution, this guarantees not to re-enter the execution routine until the
 * first execution finishes.
 *
 * The item is pinned by this function as it retains a reference to it, managed
 * through the item operations.  The item is unpinned once it has been
 * executed.
 *
 * An item may hog the thread that is running it for a relatively large amount
 * of time, sufficient, for example, to perform several lookup, mkdir, create
 * and setxattr operations.  It may sleep on I/O and may sleep to obtain locks.
 *
 * Conversely, if a number of items are awaiting processing, it may take some
 * time before any given item is given attention.  The number of threads in the
 * pool may be increased to deal with demand, but only up to a limit.
 *
 * If SLOW_WORK_VERY_SLOW is set on the work item, then it will be placed in
 * the very slow queue, from which only a portion of the threads will be
 * allowed to pick items to execute.  This ensures that very slow items won't
 * overly block ones that are just ordinarily slow.
 *
 * Returns 0 if successful, -EAGAIN if not.
