Given that wq_worker_sleeping() could only be called for a
CPU it is running on, we do not need passing a CPU ID as an
argument.

manager_mutex is only used to protect the attaching for the pool
and the pool->workers list. It protects the pool->workers and operations
based on this list, such as:
cpu-binding for the workers in the pool->workers
the operations to set/clear WORKER_UNBOUND
So let's rename manager_mutex to attach_mutex to better reflect its
role. This patch is a pure rename.

worker_idr has the iteration (iterating for attached workers) and
worker ID duties. These two duties don't have to be tied together. We
can separate them and use a list for tracking attached workers and
iteration.
Before this separation, it wasn't possible to add rescuer workers to
worker_idr due to rescuer workers couldn't allocate ID dynamically
because ID-allocation depends on memory-allocation, which rescuer
can't depend on.
After separation, we can easily add the rescuer workers to the list for
iteration without any memory-allocation. It is required when we attach
the rescuer worker to the pool in later patch.

Most of the stuff from kernel/sched.c was moved to kernel/sched/core.c long time
back and the comments/Documentation never got updated.
I figured it out when I was going through sched-domains.txt and so thought of
fixing it globally.
I haven't crossed check if the stuff that is referenced in sched/core.c by all
these files is still present and hasn't changed as that wasn't the motive behind
this patch.

One of the problems that arise when converting dedicated custom
threadpool to workqueue is that the shared worker pool used by workqueue
anonimizes each worker making it more difficult to identify what the
worker was doing on which target from the output of sysrq-t or debug
dump from oops, BUG() and friends.
This patch implements set_worker_desc() which can be called from any
workqueue work function to set its description. When the worker task is
dumped for whatever reason - sysrq-t, WARN, BUG, oops, lockdep assertion
and so on - the description will be printed out together with the
workqueue name and the worker function pointer.
The printing side is implemented by print_worker_info() which is called
from functions in task dump paths - sched_show_task() and
dump_stack_print_info(). print_worker_info() can be safely called on
any task in any state as long as the task struct itself is accessible.
It uses probe_*() functions to access worker fields. It may print
garbage if something went very wrong, but it wouldn't cause (another)
oops.
The description is currently limited to 24bytes including the
terminating \0. worker->desc_valid and workder->desc[] are added and
the 64 bytes marker which was already incorrect before adding the new
fields is moved to the correct position.
Here's an example dump with writeback updated to set the bdi name as
worker desc.

Rebinding workers of a per-cpu pool after a CPU comes online involves
a lot of back-and-forth mostly because only the task itself could
adjust CPU affinity if PF_THREAD_BOUND was set.
As CPU_ONLINE itself couldn't adjust affinity, it had to somehow
coerce the workers themselves to perform set_cpus_allowed_ptr(). Due
to the various states a worker can be in, this led to three different
paths a worker may be rebound. worker->rebind_work is queued to busy
workers. Idle ones are signaled by unlinking worker->entry and call
idle_worker_rebind(). The manager isn't covered by either and
implements its own mechanism.
PF_THREAD_BOUND has been relaced with PF_NO_SETAFFINITY and CPU_ONLINE
itself now can manipulate CPU affinity of workers. This patch
replaces the existing rebind mechanism with direct one where
CPU_ONLINE iterates over all workers using for_each_pool_worker(),
restores CPU affinity, and clears WORKER_UNBOUND.
There are a couple subtleties. All bound idle workers should have
their runqueues set to that of the bound CPU; however, if the target
task isn't running, set_cpus_allowed_ptr() just updates the
cpus_allowed mask deferring the actual migration to when the task
wakes up. This is worked around by waking up idle workers after
restoring CPU affinity before any workers can become bound.
Another subtlety is stems from matching @pool->nr_running with the
number of running unbound workers. While DISASSOCIATED, all workers
are unbound and nr_running is zero. As workers become bound again,
nr_running needs to be adjusted accordingly; however, there is no good
way to tell whether a given worker is running without poking into
scheduler internals. Instead of clearing UNBOUND directly,
rebind_workers() replaces UNBOUND with another new NOT_RUNNING flag -
REBOUND, which will later be cleared by the workers themselves while
preparing for the next round of work item execution. The only change
needed for the workers is clearing REBOUND along with PREP.
* This patch leaves for_each_busy_worker() without any user. Removed.
* idle_worker_rebind(), busy_worker_rebind_fn(), worker->rebind_work
and rebind logic in manager_workers() removed.
* worker_thread() now looks at WORKER_DIE instead of testing whether
@worker->entry is empty to determine whether it needs to do
something special as dying is the only special thing now.

Workqueue is mixing unsigned int and int for @cpu variables. There's
no point in using unsigned int for cpus - many of cpu related APIs
take int anyway. Consistently use int for @cpu variables so that we
can use negative values to mark special ones.

Rescuers visit different worker_pools to process work items from pools
under pressure. Currently, rescuer->pool is updated outside any
locking and when an outsider looks at a rescuer, there's no way to
tell when and whether rescuer->pool is gonna change. While this
doesn't currently cause any problem, it is nasty.
With recent worker_maybe_bind_and_lock() changes, we can move
rescuer->pool updates inside pool locks such that if rescuer->pool
equals a locked pool, it's guaranteed to stay that way until the pool
is unlocked.
Move rescuer->pool inside pool->lock.

workqueue has moved away from global_cwqs to worker_pools and with the
scheduled custom worker pools, wforkqueues will be associated with
pools which don't have anything to do with CPUs. The workqueue code
went through significant amount of changes recently and mass renaming
isn't likely to hurt much additionally. Let's replace 'cpu' with
'pool' so that it reflects the current design.

global_cwq is now nothing but a container for per-cpu standard
worker_pools. Declare the worker pools directly as
cpu/unbound_std_worker_pools[] and remove global_cwq.
* ____cacheline_aligned_in_smp moved from global_cwq to worker_pool.
This probably would have made sense even before this change as we
want each pool to be aligned.
* get_gcwq() is replaced with std_worker_pools() which returns the
pointer to the standard pool array for a given CPU.
* __alloc_workqueue_key() updated to use get_std_worker_pool() instead
of open-coding pool determination.
This is part of an effort to remove global_cwq and make worker_pool
the top level abstraction, which in turn will help implementing worker
pools with user-specified attributes.
v2: Joonsoo pointed out that it'd better to align struct worker_pool
rather than the array so that every pool is aligned.
