[RFC PATCH 4/4] kernel/workqueue: Let rescuers follow unbound wq cpumask changes

[Juri Lelli]

When workqueue cpumask changes are committed the associated rescuer (if
one exists) affinity is not touched and this might be a problem down the
line for isolated setups.

Make sure rescuers affinity is updated every time a workqueue cpumask
changes, so that rescuers can't break isolation.
