workqueue: implement high priority workqueue
This patch implements high priority workqueue which can be specified
with WQ_HIGHPRI flag on creation. A high priority workqueue has the
following properties.
* A work queued to it is queued at the head of the worklist of the
respective gcwq after other highpri works, while normal works are
always appended at the end.
* As long as there are highpri works on gcwq->worklist,
[__]need_more_worker() remains %true and process_one_work() wakes up
another worker before it start executing a work.
The above two properties guarantee that works queued to high priority
workqueues are dispatched to workers and start execution as soon as
possible regardless of the state of other works.
