workqueue: reimplement CPU hotplugging support using trustee

Reimplement CPU hotplugging support using trustee thread.  On CPU
down, a trustee thread is created and each step of CPU down is
executed by the trustee and workqueue_cpu_callback() simply drives and
waits for trustee state transitions.

CPU down operation no longer waits for works to be drained but trustee
sticks around till all pending works have been completed.  If CPU is
brought back up while works are still draining,
workqueue_cpu_callback() tells trustee to step down and tell workers
to rebind to the cpu.

As it's difficult to tell whether cwqs are empty if it's freezing or
frozen, trustee doesn't consider draining to be complete while a gcwq
is freezing or frozen (tracked by new GCWQ_FREEZING flag).  Also,
workers which get unbound from their cpu are marked with WORKER_ROGUE.

Trustee based implementation doesn't bring any new feature at this
point but it will be used to manage worker pool when dynamic shared
worker pool is implemented.
