Padata binds the parallel part of a job to a single CPU. Though the
serial parts rely on per-CPU queues, it's not necessary for the parallel
part, and it's beneficial to run the job locally on NUMA machines
and let the scheduler pick the CPU within a node on a busy system.
So, make the parallel workqueue unbound.
Update the parallel workqueue's cpumask when the instance's parallel
cpumask changes.
Now that parallel jobs no longer run on max_active=1 workqueues, two or
more parallel works that hash to the same CPU may run simultaneously,
finish out of order, and so be serialized out of order. Prevent this by
keeping the works sorted on the reorder list by sequence number and
teaching padata_get_next about it.
The ENODATA case in padata_get_next no longer makes sense because
parallel jobs aren't bound to specific CPUs. The EINPROGRESS case takes
care of the scenario where a parallel job is potentially running on the
same CPU as padata_get_next.
