workqueue: cleanup flush/cancel functions

Make the following cleanup changes.

* Relocate flush/cancel function prototypes and definitions.

* Relocate wait_on_cpu_work() and wait_on_work() before
  try_to_grab_pending().  These will be used to implement
  flush_work_sync().

* Make all flush/cancel functions return bool instead of int.

* Update wait_on_cpu_work() and wait_on_work() to return %true if they
  actually waited.

* Add / update comments.

This patch doesn't cause any functional changes.
