workqueue: introduce kmem_cache for pool_workqueues

Browse Source 
pool_workqueues need to be aligned to 1 << WORK_STRUCT_FLAG_BITS as
the lower bits of work->data are used for flags when they're pointing
to pool_workqueues.

Due to historical reasons, unbound pool_workqueues are allocated using
kzalloc() with sufficient buffer area for alignment and aligned
manually.  The original pointer is stored at the end which free_pwqs()
retrieves when freeing it.

There's no reason for this hackery anymore.  Set alignment of struct
pool_workqueue to 1 << WORK_STRUCT_FLAG_BITS, add kmem_cache for
pool_workqueues with proper alignment and replace the hacky alloc and
free implementation with plain kmem_cache_zalloc/free().

In case WORK_STRUCT_FLAG_BITS gets shrunk too much and makes fields of
pool_workqueues misaligned, trigger WARN if the alignment of struct
pool_workqueue becomes smaller than that of long long.

Note that assertion on IS_ALIGNED() is removed from alloc_pwqs().  We
already have another one in pwq init loop in __alloc_workqueue_key().

This patch doesn't introduce any visible behavior changes.
