Subject[PATCH 2/3 V2] workqueue: ensure the wq_worker_sleeping() see the right flags
Date
The compiler may compile this code into TWO write/modify instructions.
worker->flags &= ~WORKER_UNBOUND;
worker->flags |= WORKER_REBIND;

so the other CPU may see the temporary of worker->flags which has
not WORKER_UNBOUND nor WORKER_REBIND, it will wrongly do local wake up.

So we simply change the code that WORKER_UNBOUND is cleared in
busy_worker_rebind_fn(), not in rebind_workers(). And REBIND is not
used for busy_worker, busy_worker_rebind_fn() knows itself need
to do rebind when it is called.

Because the rebind_workers() will wait busy_worker_rebind_fn() to
finish rebinding and clearing, the CPU can't be offline,
busy_worker_rebind_fn() will not clear the wrong WORKER_UNBOUND.
