Tejun Heo 14a40ffccd sched: replace PF_THREAD_BOUND with PF_NO_SETAFFINITY
PF_THREAD_BOUND was originally used to mark kernel threads which were
bound to a specific CPU using kthread_bind() and a task with the flag
set allows cpus_allowed modifications only to itself.  Workqueue is
currently abusing it to prevent userland from meddling with
cpus_allowed of workqueue workers.

What we need is a flag to prevent userland from messing with
cpus_allowed of certain kernel tasks.  In kernel, anyone can
(incorrectly) squash the flag, and, for worker-type usages,
restricting cpus_allowed modification to the task itself doesn't
provide meaningful extra proection as other tasks can inject work
items to the task anyway.

This patch replaces PF_THREAD_BOUND with PF_NO_SETAFFINITY.
sched_setaffinity() checks the flag and return -EINVAL if set.
set_cpus_allowed_ptr() is no longer affected by the flag.

This will allow simplifying workqueue worker CPU affinity management.
