Most of the justification for this work is done in the commit messages
themselves, but the tldr is that there are various bits of functionality
that io_uring needs that workqueues don't (and can't) provide. Hence
this adds a small replacement thread pool implementation that caters to
the needs of io_uring, both current and future ones.

Hopefully the sched core changes are palatable. io-wq uses the same
sched in/out hooks as workqueue, and if the task isn't either a
workqueue or io-wq worker, there should be no extra overhead there.

Patches are on top of my for-5.5/io_uring branch, and can also be found
here:

http://git.kernel.dk/cgit/linux-block/log/?h=for-5.5/io_uring-wq

This passes io_uring IO testing and repeated runs of the liburing
regressions suite, and passes tests that would previously deadlock.
