workqueue: Reap workers via kthread_stop() and remove detach_completion

The code to kick off the destruction of workers is now in a process
context (idle_cull_fn()), so kthread_stop() can be used in the process
context to replace the work of pool->detach_completion.

The wakeup in wake_dying_workers() is unneeded after this change, but it
is harmless, jut keep it here until next patch renames wake_dying_workers()
rather than renaming it again and again.
