Subject: [PATCH 16/19] workqueue: introduce worker
Separate out worker thread related information to struct worker from
struct cpu_workqueue_struct and implement helper functions to deal
with the new struct worker. This patch only shifts things around
without any actual behavior change. This is in preparation of
concurrency managed workqueue where shared multiple workers would be
available per cpu.
