Commits 3d7a641 ("SLOW_WORK: Wait for outstanding work items belonging to a
module to clear") introduced some code to make sure that all of a module's
slow-work items were complete before that module was removed, and commit
3bde31a ("SLOW_WORK: Allow a requeueable work item to sleep till the thread is
needed") further extended that, breaking it in the process if CONFIG_MODULES=n:
CC kernel/slow-work.o
kernel/slow-work.c: In function 'slow_work_execute':
kernel/slow-work.c:313: error: 'slow_work_thread_processing' undeclared (first use in this function)

kernel/slow-work.c:313: error: for each function it appears in.)

make[1]: *** [kernel/slow-work.o] Error 1
Fix this by:
(1) Extracting the bits of slow_work_execute() that are contingent on
CONFIG_MODULES, and the bits that should be, into inline functions and
placing them into the #ifdef'd section that defines the relevant variables
and adding stubs for moduleless kernels. This allows the removal of some
#ifdefs.
(2) #ifdef'ing out the contents of slow_work_wait_for_items() in moduleless
kernels.
The four functions related to handling module unloading synchronisation (and
their associated variables) could be offloaded into a separate .c file, but
each function is only used once and three of them are tiny, so doing so would
prevent them from being inlined.
