For historical reasons, the worker attach/detach functions don't
currently manage worker->pool and the callers are manually and
inconsistently updating it.
This patch moves worker->pool updates into the worker attach/detach
functions. This makes worker->pool consistent and clearly defines how
worker->pool updates are synchronized.
This will help later workqueue visibility improvements by allowing
safe access to workqueue information from worker->task.
