Hmmm... yeah, actually, that's what wq uses internally to implement
freezable workqueues. It sets max_active to 0 temporarily and waits
for all in-flight works to finish. On thaw, the original value is
restored.

Updating workqueue_set_max_active() to return the old value would be a
nice API update which goes together, I think.

Thanks.
