destroy_worker() doesn't need to wait for worker's task exit.
There is no essential things to do after kthread_stop().
So we remove kthread_stop().
put_unbound_pool() needs to wait for workers' tasks exit.
we add a new completion to handle it.
The purpose of this patch is not making the slowpath
If a worker's cpumask need to be kept co-ordinate with the pool
during cpu-hotpug, we add this worker to a special set which
will be used to manage workers' cpumask.
This special set is worker_idr currently and it serves for normal workers only.
But we can't add rescuer to this set due to we can't
workers' concurrency setting need to be coordinate with pool's
concurrency setting when create_worker()/destroy_worker()/cpu_inline()
cpu_offline().
But create_worker() handles it non-atomically(not in a single pool->lock).
This patch makes the behavior atomically.
Now bind_list is used for coord
Now bind_mutex is used for coordinating workers' cpumask with the pool.
pool->lock is used for coordinating workers' concurrency with the pool.
cpumask is coordinated at first and then concurrency.
manager_mutex don't need for cpumask nor concurrency.
In restore_workers_cpumask(), we don't need m
Since destroy_worker() is working atomically, we move maybe_destroy_worker()
out from manager and destroy worker directly in idle timeout handler.
And we remove %POOL_MANAGE_WORKERS which help us remove a branch in
worker_thread().

Current code uses different routines to restore the cpumask of workers of
percpu&unbound pools.
unbound pools - restore_unbound_workers_cpumask()
percpu pools - rebind_workers()
Actually, restore_unbound_workers_cpumask() can be used for percpu pools.
if percpu_pool->cpu != cpu, restore_unbound_w
