This patch implements unbound workqueue which can be specified with WQ_UNBOUND flag on creation. An unbound workqueue has the following properties. * It uses a dedicated gcwq with a pseudo CPU number WORK_CPU_UNBOUND. This gcwq is always online and disassociated. * Workers are not bound to any CPU and not concurrency managed. Works are dispatched to workers as soon as possible and the only applied limitation is @max_active. IOW, all unbound workqeueues are implicitly high priority. Unbound workqueues can be used as simple execution context provider. Contexts unbound to any cpu are served as soon as possible.
