[PATCH 25/31] workqueue: perform non-reentrancy test when queueing to unbound workqueues too

[Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>]

Because per-cpu workqueues have multiple pwqs (pool_workqueues) to
serve the CPUs, to guarantee that a single work item isn't queued on
one pwq while still executing another, __queue_work() takes a look at
the previous pool the target work item was on and if it's still
executing there, queue the work item on that pool.

To support changing workqueue_attrs on the fly, unbound workqueues too
will have multiple pwqs and thus need non-reentrancy test when
queueing.  This patch modifies __queue_work() such that the reentrancy
test is performed regardless of the workqueue type.

per_cpu_ptr(wq->cpu_pwqs, cpu) used to be used to determine the
matching pwq for the last pool.  This can't be used for unbound
workqueues and is replaced with worker->current_pwq which also happens
to be simpler.
