Subject: [PATCH V2] workqueue: jumps to use_dfl_pwq if the target cpumask is
 equal wq's

wq_update_unbound_numa(), when it's decided that the newly updated
cpumask equals the default, looks at whether the current pwq is
already the default one and skips setting pwq to the default one.
This extra step is unnecessary and we can always jump to use_dfl_pwq
instead. Simplify the code by removing the conditional.
This doesn't make any functional difference.
