  workqueue: fix data race with the pwq->stats[] increment (2023-08-29 09:52:16 -1000)

workqueue: Changes for v6.6

* Unbound workqueues now support more flexible affinity scopes. The default
  behavior is to soft-affine according to last level cache boundaries. A
  work item queued from a given LLC is executed by a worker running on the
  same LLC but the worker may be moved across cache boundaries as the
  scheduler sees fit. On machines which multiple L3 caches, which are
  becoming more popular along with chiplet designs, this improves cache
  locality while not harming work conservation too much.

  Unbound workqueues are now also a lot more flexible in terms of execution
  affinity. Differeing levels of affinity scopes are supported and both the
  default and per-workqueue affinity settings can be modified dynamically.
  This should help working around amny of sub-optimal behaviors observed
  recently with asymmetric ARM CPUs.

  This involved signficant restructuring of workqueue code. Nothing was
  reported yet but there's some risk of subtle regressions. Should keep an
  eye out.

* Rescuer workers now has more identifiable comms.

* workqueue.unbound_cpus added so that CPUs which can be used by workqueue
  can be constrained early during boot.

* Now that all the in-tree users have been flushed out, trigger warning if
  system-wide workqueues are flushed.

* One pull commit from for-6.5-fixes to avoid cascading conflicts in the
  affinity scope patchset.
