[PATCH 1/2 V3] workqueue: substitute POOL_FREEZING with __WQ_FREEZING

From: Lai Jiangshan
Date: Mon Apr 21 2014 - 07:56:33 EST


Only workqueues have freezable or freezing attribution/state, not worker pools.
But POOL_FREEZING adds a suspicious state and makes reviewers confused.

And it causes freeze_workqueues_begin() and thaw_workqueues() much complicated,
they need to travel all the pools besides wqs.

Since freezable is workqueue instance's attribution, and freezing
is workqueue instance's state, so we introduce __WQ_FREEZING
to wq->flags instead and remove POOL_FREEZING.

It is different from POOL_FREEZING, POOL_FREEZING is simply set
all over the world(all pools), while __WQ_FREEZING is only set for freezable wq.
freeze_workqueues_begin()/thaw_workqueues() skip to handle non-freezable wqs
and don't touch the non-freezable wqs' flags.
