workqueue: Allow modifying low level unbound workqueue cpumask
Allow to modify the low-level unbound workqueues cpumask through sysfs. This is performed by traversing the entire workqueue list and calling apply_wqattrs_prepare() on the unbound workqueues with the new low level mask. Only after all the preparation are done, we commit them all together. Ordered workqueues are ignored from the low level unbound workqueue cpumask, it will be handled in near future. All the (default & per-node) pwqs are mandatorily controlled by the low level cpumask. If the user configured cpumask doesn't overlap with the low level cpumask, the low level cpumask will be used for the wq instead. The comment of wq_calc_node_cpumask() is updated and explicitly requires that its first argument should be the attrs of the default pwq. The default wq_unbound_cpumask is cpu_possible_mask. The workqueue subsystem doesn't know its best default value, let the system manager or the other subsystem set it when needed. Changed from V8: merge the calculating code for the attrs of the default pwq together. minor change the code&comments for saving the user configured attrs. remove unnecessary list_del(). minor update the comment of wq_calc_node_cpumask(). update the comment of workqueue_set_unbound_cpumask(); Cc: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux.com> Cc: Kevin Hilman <khilman@linaro.org> Cc: Lai Jiangshan <laijs@cn.fujitsu.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <bitbucket@online.de> Cc: Paul E.
