Subject[PATCH 1/3] workqueue: remove the first check and the return value of maybe_create_worker()
Date
The pool->lock is kept locked during the time the worker_thread() checks the
condition and maybe_create_worker() is called, therefore, the condition
is unchanged and the first condition check is unneeded.

After this unneeded check is removed, maybe_create_worker() only returns
true, so we remove the return value of it and adjust the call-site.
