[PATCH 7/7 V6] workqueue: remove WORKER_REBIND

From: Lai Jiangshan
Date: Sat Sep 08 2012 - 13:11:43 EST


exile operation = list_del_init(&worker->entry).
and destory operation -> list_del_init(&worker->entry).

so we can use list_empty(&worker->entry) to know: does the worker
has been exiled or killed.

WORKER_REBIND is not need any more, remove it to reduce the states
of workers.
