The HK_TYPE_DOMAIN housekeeping cpumask is now modifyable at runtime. In
order to synchronize against memcg workqueue to make sure that no
asynchronous draining is still pending or executing on a newly made
isolated CPU, the housekeeping susbsystem must flush the memcg
workqueues.

However the memcg workqueues can't be flushed easily since they are
queued to the main per-CPU workqueue pool.

Solve this with creating a memcg specific pool and provide and use the
appropriate flushing API.
