Subject: [PATCH] workqueue: unregister wq lockdep on error path in alloc_workqueue()

syzkaller report an issue "KASAN: use-after-free Read in alloc_workqueue",

alloc_workqueue
 - kzalloc wq
 - wq_init_lockdep(wq);
   - lockdep_register_key(&wq->key);  // add to hlist
 - kfree wq

But forget to call wq_unregister_lockdep()->lockdep_unregister_key(), it
will delete the entry from hlist.

Fixes: 669de8bda87b ("kernel/workqueue: Use dynamic lockdep keys for workqueues")
