[PATCH 3.13 068/212] workqueue: fix bugs in wq_update_unbound_numa() failure path

From: Kamal Mostafa

3.13.11.4 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Daeseok Youn <daeseok.youn@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 77f300b198f93328c26191b52655ce1b62e202cf upstream.

wq_update_unbound_numa() failure path has the following two bugs.

- alloc_unbound_pwq() is called without holding wq->mutex; however, if
the allocation fails, it jumps to out_unlock which tries to unlock
wq->mutex.

- The function should switch to dfl_pwq on failure but didn't do so
after alloc_unbound_pwq() failure.

Fix it by regrabbing wq->mutex and jumping to use_dfl_pwq on
alloc_unbound_pwq() failure.
