This change merges two patchsets. The first set,
containing 6 patches, reimplements WQ_HIGHPRI
to use a seperate worker_pool. gcwq->pools[0]
is used for normal priority work and pools[1]
for high priority.
The second patchset contains 9 patches and
reimplements CPU hotplug to keep idle workers.
Updates workqueue CPU hotplug path to use a
disassociated global_cwq, which runs as an
unbound one (WQ_UNBOUND). While this requires
rebinding idle workers, overall hotplug path
is much simpler.

There are two spellings in use for 'freeze' + 'able' - 'freezable' and
'freezeable'. The former is the more prominent one. The latter is
mostly used by workqueue and in a few other odd places. Unify the
spelling to 'freezable'.

Add WQ_MEM_RECLAIM flag which currently maps to WQ_RESCUER, mark
WQ_RESCUER as internal and replace all external WQ_RESCUER usages to
WQ_MEM_RECLAIM.
This makes the API users express the intent of the workqueue instead
of indicating the internal mechanism used to guarantee forward
progress. This is also to make it cleaner to add more semantics to
WQ_MEM_RECLAIM. For example, if deemed necessary, memory reclaim
workqueues can be made highpri.
This patch doesn't introduce any functional change.
