When new work is added, io_wqe_enqueue() checks if we need to wake or
create a new worker. But that check is done outside the lock that
otherwise synchronizes us with a worker going to sleep, so we can end
up in the following situation:

CPU0                            CPU1
lock
insert work
unlock
atomic_read(nr_running) != 0
                                lock
                                atomic_dec(nr_running)
no wakeup needed

Hold the wqe lock around the "need to wakeup" check. Then we can also get
rid of the temporary work_flags variable, as we know the work will remain
valid as long as we hold the lock.
