workqueues: make get_online_cpus() useable for work->func()

workqueue_cpu_callback(CPU_DEAD) flushes cwq->thread under
cpu_maps_update_begin().  This means that the multithreaded workqueues
can't use get_online_cpus() due to the possible deadlock, very bad and
very old problem.

Introduce the new state, CPU_POST_DEAD, which is called after
cpu_hotplug_done() but before cpu_maps_update_done().

Change workqueue_cpu_callback() to use CPU_POST_DEAD instead of CPU_DEAD.
This means that create/destroy functions can't rely on get_online_cpus()
any longer and should take cpu_add_remove_lock instead.
