workqueue: separate out drain_workqueue() from destroy_workqueue()
There are users which want to drain workqueues without destroying it. Separate out drain functionality from destroy_workqueue() into drain_workqueue() and make it accessible to workqueue users. To guarantee forward-progress, only chain queueing is allowed while drain is in progress. If a new work item which isn't chained from the running or pending work items is queued while draining is in progress, WARN_ON_ONCE() is triggered.
