PATCH v2 1/1 workqueue: jumps to use_dfl_pwq if the target cpumask is equal wq's

wq_update_unbound_numa(), when it's decided that the newly updated cpumask equals the default, looks at whether the current pwq is already the default one and skips setting pwq to the default one. This extra step is unnecessary and we can always jump to use_dfl_pwq instead. Simplify the code by removing the conditional. This doesn't make any functional difference.

Applied to wq/for-3.16 w/ minor update to the patch title.

Thanks.
