workqueue: better define locking rules around worker creation / destruction
When a manager creates or destroys workers, the operations are always done with the manager_mutex held; however, initial worker creation or worker destruction during pool release don't grab the mutex. They are still correct as initial worker creation doesn't require synchronization and grabbing manager_arb provides enough exclusion for pool release path. Still, let's make everyone follow the same rules for consistency and such that lockdep annotations can be added. Update create_and_start_worker() and put_unbound_pool() to grab manager_mutex around thread creation and destruction respectively and add lockdep assertions to create_worker() and destroy_worker(). This patch doesn't introduce any visible behavior changes. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
