workqueue: set PF_WQ_WORKER on rescuers

Browse source 
PF_WQ_WORKER is used to tell scheduler that the task is a workqueue
worker and needs wq_worker_sleeping/waking_up() invoked on it for
concurrency management.  As rescuers never participate in concurrency
management, PF_WQ_WORKER wasn't set on them.

There's a need for an interface which can query whether %current is
executing a work item and if so which.  Such interface requires a way
to identify all tasks which may execute work items and PF_WQ_WORKER
will be used for that.  As all normal workers always have PF_WQ_WORKER
set, we only need to add it to rescuers.

As rescuers start with WORKER_PREP but never clear it, it's always
NOT_RUNNING and there's no need to worry about it interfering with
concurrency management even if PF_WQ_WORKER is set; however, unlike
normal workers, rescuers currently don't have its worker struct as
kthread_data().  It uses the associated workqueue_struct instead.
This is problematic as wq_worker_sleeping/waking_up() expect struct
worker at kthread_data().

This patch adds worker->rescue_wq and start rescuer kthreads with
worker struct as kthread_data and sets PF_WQ_WORKER on rescuers.
