workqueue: remove the confusing POOL_FREEZING Currently, the global freezing state is propagated to worker_pools via POOL_FREEZING and then to each workqueue; however, the middle step - propagation through worker_pools - can be skipped as long as one or more max_active adjustments happens for each workqueue after the update to the global state is visible. The global workqueue freezing state and the max_active adjustments during workqueue creation and [un]freezing are serialized with wq_pool_mutex, so it's trivial to guarantee that max_actives stay in sync with global freezing state. POOL_FREEZING is unnecessary and makes the code more confusing and complicates freeze_workqueues_begin() and thaw_workqueues() by requiring them to walk through all pools. Remove POOL_FREEZING and use workqueue_freezing directly instead. tj: Description and comment updates. Signed-off-by: Lai Jiangshan <laijs@cn.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
