workqueue: introduce worker
Separate out worker thread related information to struct worker from struct cpu_workqueue_struct and implement helper functions to deal with the new struct worker. The only change which is visible outside is that now workqueue worker are all named "kworker/CPUID:WORKERID" where WORKERID is allocated from per-cpu ida. This is in preparation of concurrency managed workqueue where shared multiple workers would be available per cpu. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
