workqueue: schedule WORK_CPU_UNBOUND work on wq_unbound_cpumask CPUs
WORK_CPU_UNBOUND work items queued to a bound workqueue always run
locally. This is a good thing normally, but not when the user has
asked us to keep unbound work away from certain CPUs. Round robin
these to wq_unbound_cpumask CPUs instead, as perturbation avoidance
trumps performance.
tj: Cosmetic and comment changes. WARN_ON_ONCE() dropped from empty
(wq_unbound_cpumask AND cpu_online_mask). If we want that, it
should be done when config changes.
