workqueue: better define synchronization rule around rescuer->pool updates

Rescuers visit different worker_pools to process work items from pools
under pressure.  Currently, rescuer->pool is updated outside any
locking and when an outsider looks at a rescuer, there's no way to
tell when and whether rescuer->pool is gonna change.  While this
doesn't currently cause any problem, it is nasty.

With recent worker_maybe_bind_and_lock() changes, we can move
rescuer->pool updates inside pool locks such that if rescuer->pool
equals a locked pool, it's guaranteed to stay that way until the pool
is unlocked.

Move rescuer->pool inside pool->lock.

This patch doesn't introduce any visible behavior difference.
