sched: Bring the PF_IO_WORKER and PF_WQ_WORKER bits closer together
The bits PF_IO_WORKER and PF_WQ_WORKER are tested together in sched_submit_work() which is considered to be a hot path. If the two bits cross the 8 or 16 bit boundary then most architecture require multiple load instructions in order to create the constant value. Also, such a value can not be encoded within the compare opcode. By moving the bit definition within the same block, the compiler can create/use one immediate value. For some reason gcc-10 on ARM64 requires both bits to be next to each other in order to issue "tst reg, val; bne label". Otherwise the result is "mov reg1, val; tst reg, reg1; bne label". Move PF_VCPU out of the way so that PF_IO_WORKER can be next to PF_WQ_WORKER.
