Tejun Heo f56c3196f2 async: fix __lowest_in_progress()
Commit 083b804c4d ("async: use workqueue for worker pool") made it
possible that async jobs are moved from pending to running out-of-order.
While pending async jobs will be queued and dispatched for execution in
the same order, nothing guarantees they'll enter "1) move self to the
running queue" of async_run_entry_fn() in the same order.

Before the conversion, async implemented its own worker pool.  An async
worker, upon being woken up, fetches the first item from the pending
list, which kept the executing lists sorted.  The conversion to
workqueue was done by adding work_struct to each async_entry and async
just schedules the work item.  The queueing and dispatching of such work
items are still in order but now each worker thread is associated with a
specific async_entry and moves that specific async_entry to the
executing list.  So, depending on which worker reaches that point
earlier, which is non-deterministic, we may end up moving an async_entry
with larger cookie before one with smaller one.

This broke __lowest_in_progress().  running->domain may not be properly
sorted and is not guaranteed to contain lower cookies than pending list
when not empty.  Fix it by ensuring sort-inserting to the running list
and always looking at both pending and running when trying to determine
the lowest cookie.

Over time, the async synchronization implementation became quite messy.
We better restructure it such that each async_entry is linked to two
lists - one global and one per domain - and not move it when execution
starts.  There's no reason to distinguish pending and running.  They
behave the same for synchronization purposes.

/*
Goals and Theory of Operation
The primary goal of this feature is to reduce the kernel boot time,
by doing various independent hardware delays and discovery operations
decoupled and not strictly serialized.
More specifically, the asynchronous function call concept allows
certain operations (primarily during system boot) to happen
asynchronously, out of order, while these operations still
have their externally visible parts happen sequentially and in-order.
(not unlike how out-of-order CPUs retire their instructions in order)
Key to the asynchronous function call implementation is the concept of
a "sequence cookie" (which, although it has an abstracted type, can be
thought of as a monotonically incrementing number).
The async core will assign each scheduled event such a sequence cookie and
pass this to the called functions.
The asynchronously called function should before doing a globally visible
operation, such as registering device numbers, call the
async_synchronize_cookie() function and pass in its own cookie. The
async_synchronize_cookie() function will make sure that all asynchronous
operations that were scheduled prior to the operation corresponding with the
cookie have completed.
Subsystem/driver initialization code that scheduled asynchronous probe
functions, but which shares global resources with other drivers/subsystems
that do not use the asynchronous call feature, need to do a full
synchronization with the async_synchronize_full() function, before returning
from their init function. This is to maintain strict ordering between the
asynchronous and synchronous parts of the kernel.
