Subject: [PATCH 3/9] workqueue: Replace pwq_activate_inactive_work() with [__]pwq_activate_work()

To prepare for unbound nr_active handling improvements, move work activation
part of pwq_activate_inactive_work() into __pwq_activate_work() and add
pwq_activate_work() which tests WORK_STRUCT_INACTIVE and updates nr_active.

pwq_activate_first_inactive() and try_to_grab_pending() are updated to use
pwq_activate_work(). The latter conversion is functionally identical. For
the former, this conversion adds an unnecessary WORK_STRUCT_INACTIVE
testing. This is temporary and will be removed by the next patch.
