Subject: [PATCH 00/10 V2] workqueue: async worker destruction and worker attaching/detaching

Patch1-4: async worker destruction

Patch2 reduces the review burden. It will be easier to review the whole
patchset if we know destroy_worker() is forced to destroy idle workers only.

Patch5-10: worker attaching/detaching and simplify the workers management

The code which attaches a worker to the pool and detaches a worker from the pool
is unfolded in create_worker()/destroy_worker().
The patchset moves this attaching/detaching code out and wraps them.

patch3-4 moves the detaching code out from destroy_worker(), and make
manger_mutex only protects the detaching code only rather than
protects the whole worker-destruction path.

patch5-7 makes manger_mutex only protects the attaching code rather than the
whole worker-creation path.

patch8: rename manger_mutex to attach_mutex
patch9-10: moves the attaching code out from create_worker() and use it for
rescuer.

Lai Jiangshan (10):
  workqueue: use manager lock only to protect worker_idr
  workqueue: destroy_worker() should destroy idle workers only
  workqueue: async worker destruction
  workqueue: destroy worker directly in the idle timeout handler
  workqueue: separate iteration role from worker_idr
  workqueue: convert worker_idr to worker_ida
  workqueue: narrow the protection range of manager_mutex
  workqueue: rename manager_mutex to attach_mutex
  workqueue: separate pool-attaching code out from create_worker()
  workqueue: use generic attach/detach routine for rescuers
