workqueue: don't migrate pending works from the dead CPU

Currently CPU_DEAD uses kthread_stop() to stop cwq->thread and then
transfers cwq->worklist to another CPU.  However, it is very unlikely that
worker_thread() will notice kthread_should_stop() before flushing
cwq->worklist.  It is only possible if worker_thread() was preempted after
run_workqueue(cwq), a new work_struct was added, and CPU_DEAD happened
before cwq->thread has a chance to run.

This means that take_over_work() mostly adds unneeded complications.  Note
also that kthread_stop() is not good per se, wake_up_process() may confuse
work->func() if it sleeps waiting for some event.

Remove take_over_work() and migrate_sequence complications.  CPU_DEAD sets
the cwq->should_stop flag (introduced by this patch) and waits for
cwq->thread to flush cwq->worklist and exit.  Because the dead CPU is not
on cpu_online_map, no more works can be added to that cwq.

cpu_populated_map was introduced to optimize for_each_possible_cpu(), it is
not strictly needed, and it is more a documentation in fact.
