Subject: [PATCH 5/7 V6] workqueue: rename manager_mutex to assoc_mutex
assoc_mutex is clear, it protects GCWQ_DISASSOCIATED.
And the C.S. of assoc_mutex is narrowed, it protects
create_worker()+start_worker() which require
GCWQ_DISASSOCIATED stable. don't need to protects
the whole manage_workers().
A result of narrowed C.S. maybe_rebind_manager()
has to be moved to the bottom of manage_workers().
Other result of narrowed C.S. manager_workers() becomes
simpler.
