workqueue: UNBOUND -> REBIND morphing in rebind_workers() should be atomic
The compiler may compile the following code into TWO write/modify instructions. worker->flags &= ~WORKER_UNBOUND; worker->flags |= WORKER_REBIND; so the other CPU may temporarily see worker->flags which doesn't have either WORKER_UNBOUND or WORKER_REBIND set and perform local wakeup prematurely. Fix it by using single explicit assignment via ACCESS_ONCE(). Because idle workers have another WORKER_NOT_RUNNING flag, this bug doesn't exist for them; however, update it to use the same pattern for consistency. tj: Applied the change to idle workers too and updated comments and patch description a bit.
