Subject: [PATCH 20/24] workqueue: Add workqueue_attrs->__pod_cpumask

workqueue_attrs has two uses:

* to specify the required unouned workqueue properties by users

* to match worker_pool's properties to workqueues by core code

For example, if the user wants to restrict a workqueue to run only CPUs 0
and 2, and the two CPUs are on different affinity scopes, the workqueue's
attrs->cpumask would contains CPUs 0 and 2, and the workqueue would be
associated with two worker_pools, one with attrs->cpumask containing just
CPU 0 and the other CPU 2.

Workqueue wants to support non-strict affinity scopes where work items are
started in their matching affinity scopes but the scheduler is free to
migrate them outside the starting scopes, which can enable utilizing the
whole machine while maintaining most of the locality benefits from affinity
scopes.

To enable that, worker_pools need to distinguish the strict affinity that it
has to follow (because that's the restriction coming from the user) and the
soft affinity that it wants to apply when dispatching work items. Note that
two worker_pools with different soft dispatching requirements have to be
separate; otherwise, for example, we'd be ping-ponging worker threads across
NUMA boundaries constantly.

This patch adds workqueue_attrs->__pod_cpumask. The new field is double
underscored as it's only used internally to distinguish worker_pools. A
worker_pool's ->cpumask is now always the same as the online subset of
allowed CPUs of the associated workqueues, and ->__pod_cpumask is the pod's
subset of that ->cpumask. Going back to the example above, both worker_pools
would have ->cpumask containing both CPUs 0 and 2 but one's ->__pod_cpumask
would contain 0 while the other's 2.

* pool_allowed_cpus() is added. It returns the worker_pool's strict cpumask
  that the pool's workers must stay within. This is currently always
  ->__pod_cpumask as all boundaries are still strict.

* As a workqueue_attrs can now track both the associated workqueues' cpumask
  and its per-pod subset, wq_calc_pod_cpumask() no longer needs an external
  out-argument. Drop @cpumask and instead store the result in
  ->__pod_cpumask.

* The above also simplifies apply_wqattrs_prepare() as the same
  workqueue_attrs can be used to create all pods associated with a
  workqueue. tmp_attrs is dropped.

The only user-visible behavior change is that two workqueues with different
cpumasks no longer can share worker_pools even when their pod subsets
coincide. Going back to the example, let's say there's another workqueue
with cpumask 0, 2, 3, where 2 and 3 are in the same pod. It would be mapped
to two worker_pools - one with CPU 0, the other with 2 and 3. The former has
the same cpumask as the first pod of the earlier example and would have
shared the same worker_pool but that's no longer the case after this patch.
The worker_pools would have the same ->__pod_cpumask but their ->cpumask's
wouldn't match.

While this is necessary to support non-strict affinity scopes, there can be
further optimizations to maintain sharing among strict affinity scopes.
However, non-strict affinity scopes are going to be preferable for most use
cases and we don't see very diverse mixture of unbound workqueue cpumasks
anyway, so the additional overhead doesn't seem to justify the extra
complexity.
