Subject: [PATCH] workqueue: make workers threads stick to HK_TYPE_KTHREAD cpumask

From: Binglei Wang <l3b2w1@...il.com>

When new worker thread created, set its affinity to HK_TYPE_KTHREAD
cpumask.
When hotplug cpu online, rebind workers's affinity to HK_TYPE_KTHREAD
cpumask.
Make workers threads stick to HK_TYPE_KTHREAD cpumask all the time.
