This patch implements high priority workqueue which can be specified with WQ_HIGHPRI flag on creation. A high priority workqueue has the following properties. * A work queued to it is queued at the head of the worklist of the respective gcwq after other highpri works, while normal works are always appended at the end. * As long as there are highpri works on gcwq->worklist, [__]need_more_worker() remains %true and process_one_work() wakes up another worker before it start executing a work. The above two properties guarantee that works queued to high priority workqueues are dispatched to workers and start execution as soon as possible regardless of the state of other works.
