Lai Jiangshan c9c19e8bbc workqueue: Init rescuer's affinities as wq_unbound_cpumask
The affinity to set to the rescuers should be consistent in all paths
when a rescuer is in detached state. The affinity could be either
wq_unbound_cpumask or unbound_effective_cpumask(wq).

Related paths:
       rescuer's worker_detach_from_pool()
       update wq_unbound_cpumask
       update wq's cpumask
       init_rescuer()

Both affinities are Ok as long as they are consistent in all paths.

In the commit 449b31ad29 ("workqueue: Init rescuer's affinities as
the wq's effective cpumask") makes init_rescuer use
unbound_effective_cpumask(wq) which is consistent with then
apply_wqattrs_commit().

But using unbound_effective_cpumask(wq) requres much more code to
maintain the consistency, and it doesn't make much sense since the
affinity is only effective when the rescuer is not processing works.
wq_unbound_cpumask is more favorable.

So apply_wqattrs_commit() and the path of "updating wq's cpumask" had
been changed to not update the rescuer's affinity, and both the paths
of "updating wq_unbound_cpumask" and "rescuer's
worker_detach_from_pool()" had been changed to use wq_unbound_cpumask.

Now, make init_rescuer() use wq_unbound_cpumask for rescuer's affinity
and make all the paths consistent.
