<title>workqueues: do CPU_UP_CANCELED if CPU_UP_PREPARE fails</title>

The bug was pointed out by Akinobu Mita &lt;akinobu.mita@gmail.com&gt;, and this
patch is based on his original patch.

workqueue_cpu_callback(CPU_UP_PREPARE) expects that if it returns
NOTIFY_BAD, _cpu_up() will send CPU_UP_CANCELED then.

However, this is not true since

	"cpu hotplug: cpu: deliver CPU_UP_CANCELED only to NOTIFY_OKed callbacks with CPU_UP_PREPARE"
	commit: a0d8cdb652d35af9319a9e0fb7134de2a276c636

The callback which has returned NOTIFY_BAD will not receive
CPU_UP_CANCELED.  Change the code to fulfil the CPU_UP_CANCELED logic if
CPU_UP_PREPARE fails.

<title>workqueues: make get_online_cpus() useable for work-&gt;func()</title>

workqueue_cpu_callback(CPU_DEAD) flushes cwq-&gt;thread under
cpu_maps_update_begin().  This means that the multithreaded workqueues
can't use get_online_cpus() due to the possible deadlock, very bad and
very old problem.

Introduce the new state, CPU_POST_DEAD, which is called after
cpu_hotplug_done() but before cpu_maps_update_done().

Change workqueue_cpu_callback() to use CPU_POST_DEAD instead of CPU_DEAD.
This means that create/destroy functions can't rely on get_online_cpus()
any longer and should take cpu_add_remove_lock instead.

flush_workqueue(), this way we don't wait for other work_struct's which
can be queued meanwhile.
