Tejun Heo c5f8cd6c62 workqueue: Avoid premature init of wq->node_nr_active[].max
System workqueues are allocated early during boot from
workqueue_init_early(). While allocating unbound workqueues,
wq_update_node_max_active() is invoked from apply_workqueue_attrs() and
accesses NUMA topology to initialize wq->node_nr_active[].max.

However, topology information may not be set up at this point.
wq_update_node_max_active() is explicitly invoked from
workqueue_init_topology() later when topology information is known to be
available.

This doesn't seem to crash anything but it's doing useless work with dubious
data. Let's skip the premature and duplicate node_max_active updates by
initializing the field to WQ_DFL_MIN_ACTIVE on allocation and making
wq_update_node_max_active() noop until workqueue_init_topology().

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
