workqueue: implement attribute-based unbound worker_pool management

This patch makes unbound worker_pools reference counted and
dynamically created and destroyed as workqueues needing them come and
go.  All unbound worker_pools are hashed on unbound_pool_hash which is
keyed by the content of worker_pool->attrs.

When an unbound workqueue is allocated, get_unbound_pool() is called
with the attributes of the workqueue.  If there already is a matching
worker_pool, the reference count is bumped and the pool is returned.
If not, a new worker_pool with matching attributes is created and
returned.

When an unbound workqueue is destroyed, put_unbound_pool() is called
which decrements the reference count of the associated worker_pool.
If the refcnt reaches zero, the worker_pool is destroyed in sched-RCU
safe way.

Note that the standard unbound worker_pools - normal and highpri ones
with no specific cpumask affinity - are no longer created explicitly
during init_workqueues().  init_workqueues() only initializes
workqueue_attrs to be used for standard unbound pools -
unbound_std_wq_attrs[].  The pools are spawned on demand as workqueues
are created.

v2: - Comment added to init_worker_pool() explaining that @pool should
      be in a condition which can be passed to put_unbound_pool() even
      on failure.

    - pool->refcnt reaching zero and the pool being removed from
      unbound_pool_hash should be dynamic.  pool->refcnt is converted
      to int from atomic_t and now manipulated inside workqueue_lock.

    - Removed an incorrect sanity check on nr_idle in
      put_unbound_pool() which may trigger spuriously.

    All changes were suggested by Lai Jiangshan.
