workqueue: Provide a handshake for canceling BH workers

While a BH work item is canceled, the core code spins until it
determines that the item completed. On PREEMPT_RT the spinning relies on
a lock in local_bh_disable() to avoid a live lock if the canceling
thread has higher priority than the BH-worker and preempts it. This lock
ensures that the BH-worker makes progress by PI-boosting it.

This lock in local_bh_disable() is a central per-CPU BKL and about to be
removed.

To provide the required synchronisation add a per pool lock. The lock is
acquired by the bh_worker at the begin while the individual callbacks
are invoked. To enforce progress in case of interruption, __flush_work()
needs to acquire the lock.
This will flush all BH-work items assigned to that pool.
