sched: add hooks for workqueue
Concurrency managed workqueue needs to know when workers are going to sleep and waking up. Using these two hooks, cmwq keeps track of the current concurrency level and throttles execution of new works if it's too high and wakes up another worker from the sleep hook if it becomes too low. This patch introduces PF_WQ_WORKER to identify workqueue workers and adds the following two hooks. * wq_worker_waking_up(): called when a worker is woken up. * wq_worker_sleeping(): called when a worker is going to sleep and may return a pointer to a local task which should be woken up. The returned task is woken up using try_to_wake_up_local() which is simplified ttwu which is called under rq lock and can only wake up local tasks. Both hooks are currently defined as noop in kernel/workqueue_sched.h. Later cmwq implementation will replace them with proper implementation. These hooks are hard coded as they'll always be enabled.
