workqueue: reimplement CPU online rebinding to handle idle workers

Browse Source 
Currently, if there are left workers when a CPU is being brough back
online, the trustee kills all idle workers and scheduled rebind_work
so that they re-bind to the CPU after the currently executing work is
finished.  This works for busy workers because concurrency management
doesn't try to wake up them from scheduler callbacks, which require
the target task to be on the local run queue.  The busy worker bumps
concurrency counter appropriately as it clears WORKER_UNBOUND from the
rebind work item and it's bound to the CPU before returning to the
idle state.

To reduce CPU on/offlining overhead (as many embedded systems use it
for powersaving) and simplify the code path, workqueue is planned to
be modified to retain idle workers across CPU on/offlining.  This
patch reimplements CPU online rebinding such that it can also handle
idle workers.

As noted earlier, due to the local wakeup requirement, rebinding idle
workers is tricky.  All idle workers must be re-bound before scheduler
callbacks are enabled.  This is achieved by interlocking idle
re-binding.  Idle workers are requested to re-bind and then hold until
all idle re-binding is complete so that no bound worker starts
executing work item.  Only after all idle workers are re-bound and
parked, CPU_ONLINE proceeds to release them and queue rebind work item
to busy workers thus guaranteeing scheduler callbacks aren't invoked
until all idle workers are ready.

worker_rebind_fn() is renamed to busy_worker_rebind_fn() and
idle_worker_rebind() for idle workers is added.  Rebinding logic is
moved to rebind_workers() and now called from CPU_ONLINE after
flushing trustee.  While at it, add CPU sanity check in
worker_thread().

Note that now a worker may become idle or the manager between trustee
release and rebinding during CPU_ONLINE.  As the previous patch
updated create_worker() so that it can be used by regular manager
while unbound and this patch implements idle re-binding, this is safe.

This prepares for removal of trustee and keeping idle workers across
CPU hotplugs.
