sunrpc: make the cache cleaner workqueue deferrable

This patch makes the cache_cleaner workqueue deferrable, to prevent
unnecessary system wake-ups, which is very important for embedded
battery-powered devices.

do_cache_clean() is called every 30 seconds at the moment, and often
makes the system wake up from its power-save sleep state. With this
change, when the workqueue uses a deferrable timer, the
do_cache_clean() invocation will be delayed and combined with the
closest "real" wake-up. This improves the power consumption situation.

Note, I tried to create a DECLARE_DELAYED_WORK_DEFERRABLE() helper
macro, similar to DECLARE_DELAYED_WORK(), but failed because of the
way the timer wheel core stores the deferrable flag (it is the
LSBit in the time->base pointer). My attempt to define a static
variable with this bit set ended up with the "initializer element is
not constant" error.

Thus, I have to use run-time initialization, so I created a new
cache_initialize() function which is called once when sunrpc is
being initialized.
