workqueue: split apply_workqueue_attrs() into 3 stages



Current apply_workqueue_attrs() includes pwqs-allocation and pwqs-installation,
so when we batch multiple apply_workqueue_attrs()s as a transaction, we can't
ensure the transaction must succeed or fail as a complete unit.

To solve this, we split apply_workqueue_attrs() into three stages.
The first stage does the preparation: allocation memory, pwqs.
The second stage does the attrs-installaion and pwqs-installation.
The third stage frees the allocated memory and (old or unused) pwqs.

As the result, batching multiple apply_workqueue_attrs()s can
succeed or fail as a complete unit:
	1) batch do all the first stage for all the workqueues
	2) only commit all when all the above succeed.

This patch is a preparation for the next patch ("Allow modifying low level
unbound workqueue cpumask") which will do a multiple apply_workqueue_attrs().

The patch doesn't have functionality changed except two minor adjustment:
	1) free_unbound_pwq() for the error path is removed, we use the
	   heavier version put_pwq_unlocked() instead since the error path
	   is rare. this adjustment simplifies the code.
	2) the memory-allocation is also moved into wq_pool_mutex.
	   this is needed to avoid to do the further splitting.

tj: minor updates to comments.
