kcrypto_wq and pcrypt->wq's are used to run ciphers and may consume
considerable amount of CPU cycles.  Mark both as CPU_INTENSIVE so that
they don't block other work items.

As the workqueues are primarily used to burn CPU cycles, concurrency
levels shouldn't matter much and are left at 1.  A higher value may be
beneficial and needs investigation.
