  sheep: create a dedicated workqueue for peer requests

Current sheepdog uses the io workqueue (sys->io_wqueue) for 2 kinds of
requests: peer and local. However, this architecture can cause
deadlock in the fixed workqueue mode because of the schedules like
below:

1. node A receives a request Ra from a client, queue Ra to io_wqueue
   as a peer request
2. node B receives a request Rb from another client, queue Rb to
   io_wqueue as a peer request
3. in node A, Ra forwards the requests to node B
4. in node B, Rb forwards the requests to node A
5. if node A or node B don't have idle workers in io_workqueue, it can
   cause deadlock

This commit avoids the problem by creating a new dedicated workqueue
sys->peer_wqueue for avoiding the problem.
