padata: add basic support for multithreaded jobs 

Sometimes the kernel doesn't take full advantage of system memory
bandwidth, leading to a single CPU spending excessive time in
initialization paths where the data scales with memory size.

Multithreading naturally addresses this problem.

Extend padata, a framework that handles many parallel yet singlethreaded
jobs, to also handle multithreaded jobs by adding support for splitting up
the work evenly, specifying a minimum amount of work that's appropriate
for one helper thread to do, load balancing between helpers, and
coordinating them.

This is inspired by work from Pavel Tatashin and Steve Sistare.
