slow_work_thread() should do the exclusive wait

slow_work_thread() sleeps on slow_work_thread_wq without WQ_FLAG_EXCLUSIVE,
this means that slow_work_enqueue()->__wake_up(nr_exclusive => 1) wakes up all
kslowd threads.  This is not what we want, so we change slow_work_thread() to
use prepare_to_wait_exclusive() instead.
