[PATCH 5.10 224/575] workqueue: make sysfs of unbound kworker cpumask more clever

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Menglong Dong <imagedong@xxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit d25302e46592c97d29f70ccb1be558df31a9a360 ]

Some unfriendly component, such as dpdk, write the same mask to
unbound kworker cpumask again and again. Every time it write to
this interface some work is queue to cpu, even though the mask
is same with the original mask.

So, fix it by return success and do nothing if the cpumask is
equal with the old one.
