Subject: [PATCH] workqueue: Removed double allocation of
 wq_update_pod_attrs_buf

From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" <rostedt@...dmis.org>

First commit 2930155b2e272 ("workqueue: Initialize unbound CPU pods later in
the boot") added the initialization of wq_update_pod_attrs_buf to
workqueue_init_early(), and then latter on, commit 84193c07105c6
("workqueue: Generalize unbound CPU pods") added it as well. This appeared
in a kmemleak run where the second allocation made the first allocation
leak.

Fixes: 84193c07105c6 ("workqueue: Generalize unbound CPU pods")
