We can detect whether a flusher is started by comparing its flush_color VS wq->work_color.
We move all overflowed flusher to flusher_queue, and then we start flush for them when there is freed color. we detect it by the color of the last flusher of the flusher_queue. This patch doesn't make any functional difference.
