Subject: [PATCH 26/31] workqueue: implement apply_workqueue_attrs()
Implement apply_workqueue_attrs() which applies workqueue_attrs to the
specified unbound workqueue by creating a new pwq (pool_workqueue)
linked to worker_pool with the specified attributes.
A new pwq is linked at the head of wq->pwqs instead of tail and
__queue_work() verifies that the first unbound pwq has positive refcnt
before choosing it for the actual queueing. This is to cover the case
where creation of a new pwq races with queueing. As base ref on a pwq
won't be dropped without making another pwq the first one,
__queue_work() is guaranteed to make progress and not add work item to
a dead pwq.
init_and_link_pwq() is updated to return the last first pwq the new
pwq replaced, which is put by apply_workqueue_attrs().
Note that apply_workqueue_attrs() is almost identical to unbound pwq
part of alloc_and_link_pwqs(). The only difference is that there is
no previous first pwq. apply_workqueue_attrs() is implemented to
handle such cases and replaces unbound pwq handling in
alloc_and_link_pwqs().
