workqueue: allow work_on_cpu() to be called recursively

If the @fn call work_on_cpu() again, the lockdep will complain:

It is false-positive lockdep report. In this sutiation,
the two "wfc"s of the two work_on_cpu() are different,
they are both on stack. flush_work() can't be deadlock.

To fix this, we need to avoid the lockdep checking in this case,
thus we instroduce a internal __flush_work() which skip the lockdep.

tj: Minor comment adjustment.
