workqueue: invert the order between pool->lock and wq_mayday_lock
Currently, pool->lock nests inside pool->lock. There's no inherent reason for this order. The only place where the two locks are held together is pool_mayday_timeout() and it just got decided that way. This nesting order turns out to complicate things with the planned rescuer_thread() update. Let's invert them. This doesn't cause any behavior differences.
