Subject: [PATCH v2] workqueue: Fix warning triggered when nr_running is checked in worker_enter_idle()
Currently, the nr_running can be modified from timer tick, that means
the timer tick can run in not-irq-protected critical section to modify
nr_runnig, consider the following scenario:
CPU0
kworker/0:2 (events)
worker_clr_flags(worker, WORKER_PREP | WORKER_REBOUND);
->pool->nr_running++; (1)
process_one_work()
->worker->current_func(work);
->schedule()
->wq_worker_sleeping()
->worker->sleeping = 1;
->pool->nr_running--; (0)
....
->wq_worker_running()
....
CPU0 by interrupt:
wq_worker_tick()
->worker_set_flags(worker, WORKER_CPU_INTENSIVE);
->pool->nr_running--; (-1)
->worker->flags |= WORKER_CPU_INTENSIVE;
....
->if (!(worker->flags & WORKER_NOT_RUNNING))
->pool->nr_running++; (will not execute)
->worker->sleeping = 0;
....
->worker_clr_flags(worker, WORKER_CPU_INTENSIVE);
->pool->nr_running++; (0)
....
worker_set_flags(worker, WORKER_PREP);
->pool->nr_running--; (-1)
....
worker_enter_idle()
->WARN_ON_ONCE(pool->nr_workers == pool->nr_idle && pool->nr_running);
if the nr_workers is equal to nr_idle, due to the nr_running is not zero,
will trigger WARN_ON_ONCE().

This commit therefore add the check of worker->sleeping in
wq_worker_tick(), if the worker->sleeping is not zero, directly return.
