workqueue: make work->data point to pool after try_to_grab_pending()
We plan to use work->data pointing to cwq as the synchronization invariant when determining whether a given work item is on a locked pool or not, which requires work->data pointing to cwq only while the work item is queued on the associated pool. With delayed_work updated not to overload work->data for target workqueue recording, the only case where we still have off-queue work->data pointing to cwq is try_to_grab_pending() which doesn't update work->data after stealing a queued work item. There's no reason for try_to_grab_pending() to not update work->data to point to the pool instead of cwq, like the normal execution does. This patch adds set_work_pool_and_keep_pending() which makes work->data point to pool instead of cwq but keeps the pending bit unlike set_work_pool_and_clear_pending() (surprise!). After this patch, it's guaranteed that only queued work items point to cwqs. This patch doesn't introduce any visible behavior change. tj: Renamed the new helper function to match set_work_pool_and_clear_pending() and rewrote the description.
