workqueue: reimplement work flushing using linked works
A work is linked to the next one by having WORK_STRUCT_LINKED bit set
and these links can be chained. When a linked work is dispatched to a
worker, all linked works are dispatched to the worker's newly added
->scheduled queue and processed back-to-back.
Currently, as there's only single worker per cwq, having linked works
doesn't make any visible behavior difference. This change is to
prepare for multiple shared workers per cpu.
