25511a4776 "workqueue: reimplement CPU online rebinding to handle idle
workers" added CPU locality sanity check in process_one_work().  It
triggers if a worker is executing on a different CPU without UNBOUND
or REBIND set.

This works for all normal workers but rescuers can trigger this
spuriously when they're serving the unbound or a disassociated
global_cwq - rescuers don't have either flag set and thus its
gcwq->cpu can be a different value including %WORK_CPU_UNBOUND.

Fix it by additionally testing %GCWQ_DISASSOCIATED.
