cpu_pwq is used in various percpu functions that expect variable in
__percpu address space. Correct the declaration of cpu_pwq to

struct pool_workqueue __rcu * __percpu *cpu_pwq

to declare the variable as __percpu pointer.

The patch also fixes following sparse errors:

workqueue.c:380:37: warning: duplicate [noderef]
workqueue.c:380:37: error: multiple address spaces given: __rcu & __percpu
workqueue.c:2271:15: error: incompatible types in comparison expression (different address spaces):
workqueue.c:2271:15:    struct pool_workqueue [noderef] __rcu *
workqueue.c:2271:15:    struct pool_workqueue [noderef] __percpu *

and uncovers a couple of exisiting "incorrect type in assignment"
warnings (from __rcu address space), which this patch does not address.

Found by GCC's named address space checks.

There were no changes in the resulting object files.

Applied to wq/for-6.11-fixes.

Thanks.
