workqueue: fix how cpu number is stored in work->data
Once a work starts execution, its data contains the cpu number it was
on instead of pointing to cwq. This is added by commit 7a22ad75
(workqueue: carry cpu number in work data once execution starts) to
reliably determine the work was last on even if the workqueue itself
was destroyed inbetween.
Whether data points to a cwq or contains a cpu number was
distinguished by comparing the value against PAGE_OFFSET. The
assumption was that a cpu number should be below PAGE_OFFSET while a
pointer to cwq should be above it. However, on architectures which
use separate address spaces for user and kernel spaces, this doesn't
hold as PAGE_OFFSET is zero.
Fix it by using an explicit flag, WORK_STRUCT_CWQ, to mark what the
data field contains. If the flag is set, it's pointing to a cwq;
otherwise, it contains a cpu number.
Reported on s390 and microblaze during linux-next testing.
