workqueue: introduce kmem_cache for pool_workqueues
pool_workqueues need to be aligned to 1 << WORK_STRUCT_FLAG_BITS as the lower bits of work->data are used for flags when they're pointing to pool_workqueues. Due to historical reasons, unbound pool_workqueues are allocated using kzalloc() with sufficient buffer area for alignment and aligned manually. The original pointer is stored at the end which free_pwqs() retrieves when freeing it. There's no reason for this hackery anymore. Set alignment of struct pool_workqueue to 1 << WORK_STRUCT_FLAG_BITS, add kmem_cache for pool_workqueues with proper alignment and replace the hacky alloc and free implementation with plain kmem_cache_zalloc/free(). In case WORK_STRUCT_FLAG_BITS gets shrunk too much and makes fields of pool_workqueues misaligned, trigger WARN if the alignment of struct pool_workqueue becomes smaller than that of long long. Note that assertion on IS_ALIGNED() is removed from alloc_pwqs(). We already have another one in pwq init loop in __alloc_workqueue_key(). This patch doesn't introduce any visible behavior changes.
