pool_workqueues need to be aligned to 1 << WORK_STRUCT_FLAG_BITS as
the lower bits of work->data are used for flags when they're pointing
to pool_workqueues.
Due to historical reasons, unbound pool_workqueues are allocated using
kzalloc() with sufficient buffer area for alignment and aligned
manually. The original pointer is stored at the end which free_pwqs()
retrieves when freeing it.
There's no reason for this hackery anymore. Set alignment of struct
pool_workqueue to 1 << WORK_STRUCT_FLAG_BITS, add kmem_cache for
pool_workqueues with proper alignment and replace the hacky alloc and
free implementation with plain kmem_cache_zalloc/free().
In case WORK_STRUCT_FLAG_BITS gets shrunk too much and makes fields of
pool_workqueues misaligned, trigger WARN if the alignment of struct
pool_workqueue becomes smaller than that of long long.
Note that assertion on IS_ALIGNED() is removed from alloc_pwqs(). We
already have another one in pwq init loop in __alloc_workqueue_key().
This patch doesn't introduce any visible behavior changes.
