workqueue: remove an unneeded UNBOUND test before waking up the next worker
In process_one_work():
if ((worker->flags & WORKER_UNBOUND) && need_more_worker(pool))
wake_up_worker(pool);
the first test is unneeded. Even if the first test is removed, it
doesn't affect the wake-up logic for WORKER_UNBOUND, and it will not
introduce any useless wake-ups for normal per-cpu workers since
nr_running is always >= 1. It will introduce useless/redundant
wake-ups for CPU_INTENSIVE, but this case is rare and the next patch
will also remove this redundant wake-up.
tj: Minor updates to the description and comment.
