reimplement flush_workqueue()

Remove ->remove_sequence, ->insert_sequence, and ->work_done from struct
cpu_workqueue_struct.  To implement flush_workqueue() we can queue a
barrier work on each CPU and wait for its completition.

The barrier is queued under workqueue_mutex to ensure that per cpu
wq->cpu_wq is alive, we drop this mutex before going to sleep.  If CPU goes
down while we are waiting for completition, take_over_work() will move the
barrier on another CPU, and the handler will wake up us eventually.
