Subject: [PATCH 19/35] workqueue: implement worker states

Implement worker states.  After created, a worker is STARTED.  While a
worker isn't processing a work, it's IDLE and chained on
gcwq->idle_list.  While processing a work, a worker is BUSY and
chained on gcwq->busy_hash.  Also, gcwq now counts the number of all
workers and idle ones.

worker_thread() is restructured to reflect state transitions.
cwq->more_work is removed and waking up a worker makes it check for
events.  A worker is killed by setting DIE flag while it's IDLE and
waking it up.

This gives gcwq better visibility of what's going on and allows it to
find out whether a work is executing quickly which is necessary to
have multiple workers processing the same cwq.
