[PATCH v3 1/3] workqueue: split kick_pool() into kick_pool_pick() + wake_up_q()

[Breno Leitao <leitao@debian.org>]

Factor the worker selection out of kick_pool() into kick_pool_pick(),
which picks and claims the worker under pool->lock but, instead of waking
it, queues it on a caller-provided wake_q via wake_q_add(). The caller
issues the wakeup later with wake_up_q(). wake_q_add() is safe under the
lock (cmpxchg + get_task_struct()); only wake_up_q() takes rq->lock.

kick_pool() becomes a thin wrapper using a local wake_q, so all existing
callers keep waking under pool->lock.

Pure refactor, no functional change.
