Subject: sched: Distangle worker accounting from rqlock
    
The worker accounting for cpu bound workers is plugged into the core
scheduler code and the wakeup code. This is not a hard requirement and
can be avoided by keeping track of the state in the workqueue code
itself.
    
Keep track of the sleeping state in the worker itself and call the
notifier before entering the core scheduler. There might be false
positives when the task is woken between that call and actually
scheduling, but that's not really different from scheduling and being
woken immediately after switching away. There is also no harm from
updating nr_running when the task returns from scheduling instead of
accounting it in the wakeup code.
