The attempt to find and activate a free worker for new work is currently combined with creating a new one if we don't find one, but that opens io-wq up to a race where the worker that is found and activated can put itself to sleep without knowing that it has been selected to perform this new work. Fix this by moving the activation into where we add the new work item, then we can retain it within the wqe->lock scope and elimiate the race with the worker itself checking inside the lock, but sleeping outside of it.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
