This patch implements unbound workqueue which can be specified with
WQ_UNBOUND flag on creation.  An unbound workqueue has the following
properties.

* It uses a dedicated gcwq with a pseudo CPU number WORK_CPU_UNBOUND.
  This gcwq is always online and disassociated.

* Workers are not bound to any CPU and not concurrency managed.  Works
  are dispatched to workers as soon as possible and the only applied
  limitation is @max_active.  IOW, all unbound workqeueues are
  implicitly high priority.

Unbound workqueues can be used as simple execution context provider.
Contexts unbound to any cpu are served as soon as possible.
