[PATCH 6/7 V2] workqueue: reuse wq_update_unbound_numa_attrs_buf as temporary attrs

[Lai Jiangshan]

tmp_attrs is just temporary attrs, we can use wq_update_unbound_numa_attrs_buf
for it like wq_update_unbound_numa();

This change also avoids frequently alloc/free the tmp_attrs when
the low level cpumask is being updated.
