[PATCH] workqueues: shift kthread_bind() from CPU_UP_PREPARE to CPU_ONLINE

[Oleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru>]

CPU_UP_PREPARE binds cwq->thread to the new CPU. So CPU_UP_CANCELED tries to
wake up the task which is bound to the failed CPU.

With this patch we don't bind cwq->thread until CPU becomes online. The first
wake_up() after kthread_create() is a bit special, make a simple helper for
that.
