Subject: [PATCH 2/3] workqueue: extend wq_pool_mutex to also protect pwq-installation

Athough pwq-installation without wq_pool_mutex held is not bug,
but it is not good design, it is better to make the pwq-allocation and installation
are in the (same) wq_pool_mutex.

And since the pwq-allocation and installation are in the same wq_pool_mutex,
get_online_cpus() will not be needed for this reason, and it will be remove
in later patch.
