From: Lai Jiangshan <la...@linux.alibaba.com>

When worker_attach_to_pool() is called, we should not put the workers
to pool->attrs->cpumask when there is or will be no CPU online in it.

Otherwise, it may cause BUG_ON(): (quote from Valentin:)
  Per-CPU kworkers forcefully migrated away by hotplug via
  workqueue_offline_cpu() can end up spawning more kworkers via

    manage_workers() -> maybe_create_worker()

  Workers created at this point will be bound using

    pool->attrs->cpumask

  which in this case is wrong, as the hotplug state machine already
  migrated all pinned kworkers away from this CPU. This ends up
  triggering the BUG_ON condition is sched_cpu_dying() (i.e. there's
  a kworker enqueued on the dying rq).
(end of quote)

We need to find out where it is in the hotplug stages to determind
whether pool->attrs->cpumask is valid.  So we have to check
%POOL_DISASSOCIATED and wq_unbound_online_cpumask which are indications
for the hotplug stages.

So for per-CPU kworker case, %POOL_DISASSOCIATED marks the kworkers
of the pool are bound or unboud, so it is used to detect whether
pool->attrs->cpumask is valid to use when attachment.

For unbound workers, we should not set online&!active cpumask to workers.
Just introduced wq_unound_online_cpumask has the features that going-down
cpu is cleared earlier in it than in cpu_active_mask and bring-up cpu
is set later in it than cpu_active_mask.  So it is perfect to be used to
detect whether the pool->attrs->cpumask is valid to use.

To use wq_unound_online_cpumask in worker_attach_to_pool(), we need to protect
wq_unbound_online_cpumask in wq_pool_attach_mutex.
