workqueue: drop @bind from create_worker()
Currently, create_worker()'s callers are responsible for deciding
whether the newly created worker should be bound to the associated CPU
and create_worker() sets WORKER_UNBOUND only for the workers for the
unbound global_cwq. Creation during normal operation is always via
maybe_create_worker() and @bind is true. For workers created during
hotplug, @bind is false.
Normal operation path is planned to be used even while the CPU is
going through hotplug operations or offline and this static decision
won't work.
Drop @bind from create_worker() and decide whether to bind by looking
at GCWQ_DISASSOCIATED. create_worker() will also set WORKER_UNBOUND
autmatically if disassociated. To avoid flipping GCWQ_DISASSOCIATED
while create_worker() is in progress, the flag is now allowed to be
changed only while holding all manager_mutexes on the global_cwq.
This requires that GCWQ_DISASSOCIATED is not cleared behind trustee's
back. CPU_ONLINE no longer clears DISASSOCIATED before flushing
trustee, which clears DISASSOCIATED before rebinding remaining workers
if asked to release. For cases where trustee isn't around, CPU_ONLINE
clears DISASSOCIATED after flushing trustee. Also, now, first_idle
has UNBOUND set on creation which is explicitly cleared by CPU_ONLINE
while binding it. These convolutions will soon be removed by further
simplification of CPU hotplug path.
