workqueue: wq_pool_mutex protects the attrs-installation
Current wq_pool_mutex doesn't proctect the attrs-installation, it results that ->unbound_attrs, ->numa_pwq_tbl[] and ->dfl_pwq can only be accessed under wq->mutex and causes some inconveniences. Example, wq_update_unbound_numa() has to acquire wq->mutex before fetching the wq->unbound_attrs->no_numa and the old_pwq. attrs-installation is a short operation, so this change will no cause any latency for other operations which also acquire the wq_pool_mutex. The only unprotected attrs-installation code is in apply_workqueue_attrs(), so this patch touches code less than comments. It is also a preparation patch for next several patches which read wq->unbound_attrs, wq->numa_pwq_tbl[] and wq->dfl_pwq with only wq_pool_mutex held.
