Subject[PATCH 1/2] workqueue: fix bugs in wq_update_unbound_numa() failure path
wq_update_unbound_numa() failure path has the following two bugs.
- alloc_unbound_pwq() is called without holding wq->mutex;
however, if the allocation fails, it jumps to out_unlock
which tries to unlock wq->mutex.

- The function should switch to dfl_pwq on failure
but didn't do so after alloc_unbound_pwq() failure.

Fix it by regrabbing wq->mutex and jumping to use_dfl_pwq on
alloc_unbound_pwq() failure.
