workqueue: separate iteration role from worker_idr
worker_idr has the iteration (iterating for attached workers) and worker ID duties. These two duties don't have to be tied together. We can separate them and use a list for tracking attached workers and iteration. Before this separation, it wasn't possible to add rescuer workers to worker_idr due to rescuer workers couldn't allocate ID dynamically because ID-allocation depends on memory-allocation, which rescuer can't depend on. After separation, we can easily add the rescuer workers to the list for iteration without any memory-allocation. It is required when we attach the rescuer worker to the pool in later patch. tj: Minor description updates.
