workqueue: make the workqueues list RCU walkable The workqueues list is protected by wq_pool_mutex and a workqueue and its subordinate data structures are freed directly on destruction. We want to add the ability dump workqueues from a sysrq callback which requires walking all workqueues without grabbing wq_pool_mutex. This patch makes freeing of workqueues RCU protected and makes the workqueues list walkable while holding RCU read lock. Note that pool_workqueues and pools are already sched-RCU protected. For consistency, workqueues are also protected with sched-RCU. While at it, reverse the workqueues list so that a workqueue which is created earlier comes before. The order of the list isn't significant functionally but this makes the planned sysrq dump list system workqueues first. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
