workqueue: Fix setting affinity of unbound worker threads

With commit e9d867a6 ("sched: Allow per-cpu kernel threads to
run on online && !active"), __set_cpus_allowed_ptr() expects that only
strict per-cpu kernel threads can have affinity to an online CPU which
is not yet active.

This assumption is currently broken in the CPU_ONLINE notification
handler for the workqueues where restore_unbound_workers_cpumask()
calls set_cpus_allowed_ptr() when the first cpu in the unbound
worker's pool->attr->cpumask comes online. Since
set_cpus_allowed_ptr() is called with pool->attr->cpumask in which
only one CPU is online which is not yet active, we get the following
WARN_ON during an CPU online operation.

This patch fixes this by limiting the mask to the intersection of
the pool affinity and online CPUs.
