workqueue: implement apply_workqueue_attrs()
Implement apply_workqueue_attrs() which applies workqueue_attrs to the specified unbound workqueue by creating a new pwq (pool_workqueue) linked to worker_pool with the specified attributes. A new pwq is linked at the head of wq->pwqs instead of tail and __queue_work() verifies that the first unbound pwq has positive refcnt before choosing it for the actual queueing. This is to cover the case where creation of a new pwq races with queueing. As base ref on a pwq won't be dropped without making another pwq the first one, __queue_work() is guaranteed to make progress and not add work item to a dead pwq. init_and_link_pwq() is updated to return the last first pwq the new pwq replaced, which is put by apply_workqueue_attrs(). Note that apply_workqueue_attrs() is almost identical to unbound pwq part of alloc_and_link_pwqs(). The only difference is that there is no previous first pwq. apply_workqueue_attrs() is implemented to handle such cases and replaces unbound pwq handling in alloc_and_link_pwqs().
