which is down to the comment below,
/* all workers gone, wq exit can proceed */
if (!nr_workers && refcount_dec_and_test(&wqe->wq->refs))
complete(&wqe->wq->done);
because there might be multiple cases of wqe in a wq and we would wait
for every worker in every wqe to go home before releasing wq's resources
on destroying.
To that end, rework wq's refcount by making it independent of the tracking
of workers because after all they are two different things, and keeping
it balanced when workers come and go. Note the manager kthread, like
other workers, now holds a grab to wq during its lifetime.
Finally to help destroy wq, check IO_WQ_BIT_EXIT upon creating worker
and do nothing for exiting wq.
