workqueue: implement WQ_NON_REENTRANT
With gcwq managing all the workers and work->data pointing to the last gcwq it was on, non-reentrance can be easily implemented by checking whether the work is still running on the previous gcwq on queueing. Implement it. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
