workqueue: Fix PF_THREAD_BOUND abuse
PF_THREAD_BOUND is set by kthread_bind() and means the thread is bound to a particular cpu for correctness. The workqueue code abuses this flag and blindly sets it for all created threads, including those that are free to migrate. Restore the original semantics now that the worst abuse in the cpu-hotplug path are gone. The only icky bit is the rescue thread for per-cpu workqueues, this cannot use kthread_bind() but will use set_cpus_allowed_ptr() to migrate itself to the desired cpu. Set and clear PF_THREAD_BOUND manually here. XXX: I think worker_maybe_bind_and_lock()/worker_unbind_and_unlock() should also do a get_online_cpus(), this would likely allow us to remove the while loop. XXX: should probably repurpose GCWQ_DISASSOCIATED to warn on adding works after CPU_DOWN_PREPARE -- its dual use to mark unbound gcwqs is a tad annoying though.
