Hello, Tejun

When the counter is put in pwq, there will be a per-pwq counter,
a per-pwq completion or pointer and a flush_workqueue_prep_pwqs()-like
function (although simpler) to set up them before waiting for them.

It would sound like the V1 patch. per-pwq counter may have better
performance over per-wq atomic, it seems too tiny to add code
complicity. V1 has the simplest pwq_dec_nr_in_flight() except
there is too much WARN_ON_ONCE() in flush_no_color().

Thanks
Lai
