workqueue: wake up a worker when a rescuer is leaving a gcwq
After executing the matching works, a rescuer leaves the gcwq whether there are more pending works or not. This may decrease the concurrency level to zero and stall execution until a new work item is queued on the gcwq. Make rescuer wake up a regular worker when it leaves a gcwq if there are more works to execute, so that execution isn't stalled.
