Subject: [PATCH 05/21] workqueue: kick workers in pwq_adjust_max_active()

if pwq_adjust_max_active() changes max_active from 0 to saved_max_active,
it needs to wakeup worker. This action is already done by thaw_workqueues().

if pwq_adjust_max_active() increase the max_active for unbound wq,
it also needs to wakeup worker. This action is missing.

To make these two cases happy, we move kicking workers code from
thaw_workqueues() to pwq_adjust_max_active().

It also makes thaw_workqueues() simpler.
