Every now and then reports come in that are puzzled on why changing affinity on the io-wq workers fails with EINVAL. This happens because they set PF_NO_SETAFFINITY as part of their creation, as io-wq organizes workers into groups based on what CPU they are running on. However, this is purely an optimization and not a functional requirement. We can allow setting affinity, and just lazily update our worker to wqe mappings. If a given io-wq thread times out, it normally exits if there's no more work to do. The exception is if it's the last worker available. For the timeout case, check the affinity of the worker against group mask and exit even if it's the last worker. New workers should be created with the right mask and in the right location.
