Subject: [PATCH V2 07/15] workqueue: change argument of worker_maybe_bind_and_lock() to pool

We plan to only set rescuer->pool in the C.S. of pool->lock,
so when worker_maybe_bind_and_lock() is called, the worker(rescuer)->pool
may NULL. Thus we need to change the worker_maybe_bind_and_lock() API,
we need to add a @pool argument to it or use @pool argument instead of
@worker argument. we choice the later one.
