Subject: [PATCH 0.5/14] workqueue: fix memory leak in apply_workqueue_attrs()

apply_workqueue_attrs() wasn't freeing temp attrs variable @new_attrs
in its success path.  Fix it.

This causes some minor conflicts down the series but nothing
noteworthy.  I'm not posting the whole refreshed series.  If you want
