Subject: [PATCH] workqueue: Remove unneeded lockdep_assert_cpus_held()

From: Lai Jiangshan <jiangshan.ljs@...group.com>

The commit 19af45757383 ("workqueue: Remove cpus_read_lock() from
apply_wqattrs_lock()") removes the unneed cpus_read_lock() after the pwq
creations and installations have been reworked based on wq_online_cpumask
rather than cpu_online_mask making cpus_read_lock() is unneeded during
wqattrs changes.

But it desn't remove the lockdep_assert_cpus_held() checks during wqattrs
changes, which leads to complaints from lockdep reported by kernel test
robot:

Fix it by removing the unneeded lockdep_assert_cpus_held().
Also remove the unneed cpus_read_lock() from wq_affn_dfl_set().
