workqueue: change argument of worker_maybe_bind_and_lock() to @pool
worker_maybe_bind_and_lock() currently takes @worker but only cares about @worker->pool. This patch updates worker_maybe_bind_and_lock() to take @pool instead of @worker. This will be used to better define synchronization rules regarding rescuer->pool updates. This doesn't introduce any functional change. tj: Updated the comments and description.
