[PATCH] workqueue: Protects wq_unbound_cpumask with wq_pool_attach_mutex

[Lai Jiangshan <jiangshanlai@gmail.com>]

From: Lai Jiangshan <jiangshan.ljs@antgroup.com>

When unbind_workers() reads wq_unbound_cpumask to set the affinity of
freshly-unbound kworkers, it only holds wq_pool_attach_mutex. This isn't
sufficient as wq_unbound_cpumask is only protected by wq_pool_mutex.

Make wq_unbound_cpumask protected with wq_pool_attach_mutex and also
remove the need of temporary saved_cpumask.

Fixes: 10a5a651e3af ("workqueue: Restrict kworker in the offline CPU pool running on housekeeping CPUs")
