workqueue: protect wq->pwqs and iteration with wq->mutex
We're expanding wq->mutex to cover all fields specific to each
workqueue with the end goal of replacing pwq_lock which will make
locking simpler and easier to understand.
init_and_link_pwq() and pwq_unbound_release_workfn() already grab
wq->mutex when adding or removing a pwq from wq->pwqs list. This
patch makes it official that the list is wq->mutex protected for
writes and updates readers accoridingly. Explicit IRQ toggles for
sched-RCU read-locking in flush_workqueue_prep_pwqs() and
drain_workqueues() are removed as the surrounding wq->mutex can
provide sufficient synchronization.
Also, assert_rcu_or_pwq_lock() is renamed to assert_rcu_or_wq_mutex()
and checks for wq->mutex too.
pwq_lock locking and assertion are not removed by this patch and a
couple of for_each_pwq() iterations are still protected by it.
They'll be removed by future patches.
tj: Rebased on top of the current dev branch. Updated description.
Folded in assert_rcu_or_wq_mutex() renaming from a later patch
along with associated comment updates.
