workqueue: implement unbound workqueue
This patch implements unbound workqueue which can be specified with
WQ_UNBOUND flag on creation. An unbound workqueue has the following
properties.
* It uses a dedicated gcwq with a pseudo CPU number WORK_CPU_UNBOUND.
This gcwq is always online and disassociated.
* Workers are not bound to any CPU and not concurrency managed. Works
are dispatched to workers as soon as possible and the only applied
limitation is @max_active. IOW, all unbound workqeueues are
implicitly high priority.
Unbound workqueues can be used as simple execution context provider.
Contexts unbound to any cpu are served as soon as possible.
