IOW, a work function in an ordered workqueue may run on an isolated CPU. This patch enables ordered workqueues to follow changes made to the global unbound cpumask by temporaily plug or suspend the newly allocated pool_workqueue from executing newly queued work items until the old pwq has been properly drained. For ordered workqueues, there should only be one pwq that is unplugged, the rests should be plugged. This enables ordered workqueues to follow the unbound cpumask changes like other unbound workqueues at the expense of some delay in execution of work functions during the transition period.
