Reimplement st (single thread) workqueue so that it's friendly to shared worker pool. It was originally implemented by confining st workqueues to use cwq of a fixed cpu and always having a worker for the cpu. This implementation isn't very friendly to shared worker pool and suboptimal in that it ends up crossing cpu boundaries often. Reimplement st workqueue using dynamic single cpu binding and cwq->limit. WQ_SINGLE_THREAD is replaced with WQ_SINGLE_CPU. In a single cpu workqueue, at most single cwq is bound to the wq at any given time. Arbitration is done using atomic accesses to wq->single_cpu when queueing a work. Once bound, the binding stays till the workqueue is drained. Note that the binding is never broken while a workqueue is frozen. This is because idle cwqs may have works waiting in delayed_works queue while frozen. On thaw, the cwq is restarted if there are any delayed works or unbound otherwise. When combined with max_active limit of 1, single cpu workqueue has exactly the same execution properties as the original single thread workqueue while allowing sharing of per-cpu workers.
