Subject[PATCH v2] workqueue: Kick a worker based on the actual activation of delayed works
Date
In realtime scenario, We do not want to have interference on the
isolated cpu cores. but when invoking alloc_workqueue() for percpu wq
on the housekeeping cpu, it kick a kworker on the isolated cpu.

alloc_workqueue
pwq_adjust_max_active
wake_up_worker

The comment in pwq_adjust_max_active() said:
"Need to kick a worker after thawed or an unbound wq's
max_active is bumped"

So it is unnecessary to kick a kworker for percpu's wq when invoking
alloc_workqueue(). this patch only kick a worker based on the actual
activation of delayed works.
