workqueue: Process rescuer work items one-by-one using a cursor

Previously, the rescuer scanned for all matching work items at once and
processed them within a single rescuer thread, which could cause one
blocking work item to stall all others.

Make the rescuer process work items one-by-one instead of slurping all
matches in a single pass.

Break the rescuer loop after finding and processing the first matching
work item, then restart the search to pick up the next. This gives
normal worker threads a chance to process other items which gives them
the opportunity to be processed instead of waiting on the rescuer's
queue and prevents a blocking work item from stalling the rest once
memory pressure is relieved.

Introduce a dummy cursor work item to avoid potentially O(N^2)
rescans of the work list.  The marker records the resume position for
the next scan, eliminating redundant traversals.

Also introduce RESCUER_BATCH to control the maximum number of work items
the rescuer processes in each turn, and move on to other PWQs when the
limit is reached.
