[PATCH-wq v2 0/5] workqueue: Enable unbound cpumask update on ordered workqueues

From: Waiman Long

v2:
- [v1] https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240130183336.511948-1-longman@xxxxxxxxxx/
- Rebased on top of wq's for-v6.9 branch.
- Use the new pwq_tryinc_nr_active() mechanism to freeze the new
pwq of an ordered workqueue until the old pwq has been properly
drained to maintain ordering.
- Make rescuer follow changes in workqueue unbound cpumask as well
as its sysfs cpumask, if available.

Ordered workqueues does not currently follow changes made to the
global unbound cpumask because per-pool workqueue changes may break
the ordering guarantee. IOW, a work function in an ordered workqueue
may run on a cpuset isolated CPU.

This series enables ordered workqueues to follow changes made to
the global unbound cpumask by temporaily freeze the newly allocated
pool_workqueue by using the new frozen flag to freeze execution of
newly queued work items until the old pwq has been properly flushed.

The cpumask of the rescuer task of each workqueue is also made to follow
changes in workqueue unbound cpumask as well as its sysfs cpumask,
if available.
