workqueue: restore POOL_MANAGING_WORKERS
This patch restores POOL_MANAGING_WORKERS which was replaced by pool->manager_mutex by 60373152 "workqueue: use mutex for global_cwq manager exclusion". There's a subtle idle worker depletion bug across CPU hotplug events and we need to distinguish an actual manager and CPU hotplug preventing management. POOL_MANAGING_WORKERS will be used for the former and manager_mutex the later. This patch just lays POOL_MANAGING_WORKERS on top of the existing manager_mutex and doesn't introduce any synchronization changes. The next patch will update it. Note that this patch fixes a non-critical anomaly where too_many_workers() may return %true spuriously while CPU hotplug is in progress. While the issue could schedule idle timer spuriously, it didn't trigger any actual misbehavior. tj: Rewrote patch description.
