[PATCH -tip V2 07/10] workqueue: Manually break affinity on hotplug for unbound pool

[Lai Jiangshan]

From: Lai Jiangshan <laijs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

There is possible that a per-node pool/woker's affinity is a single
CPU.  It can happen when wq_unbound_cpumask is changed by system adim
via /sys/devices/virtual/workqueue/cpumask.  And pool->attrs->cpumask
is wq_unbound_cpumask & possible_cpumask_of_the_node, which can be a
single CPU and makes the pool's workers to be "per cpu kthread".

And the scheduler won't break affinity on the "per cpu kthread" workers
when the CPU is going down, so we have to do it by our own.

We do it by reusing existing restore_unbound_workers_cpumask() and rename
it to update_unbound_workers_cpumask().  When the number of the online
CPU of the pool goes from 1 to 0, we break the affinity initiatively.

Note here, we even break the affinity for non-per-cpu-kthread workers,
because first, the code path is slow path which is not worth too much to
optimize, second, we don't need to rely on the code/conditions when the
scheduler forces breaking affinity for us.

The way to break affinity is to set the workers' affinity to
cpu_possible_mask, so that we preserve the same behavisor when
the scheduler breaks affinity for us.
