workqueue: avoid false negative WARN_ON() in destroy_workqueue()
destroy_workqueue() performs several sanity checks before proceeding
with destruction of a workqueue. One of the checks verifies that
refcnt of each pwq (pool_workqueue) is over 1 as at that point there
should be no in-flight work items and the only holder of pwq refs is
the workqueue itself.
This worked fine as a workqueue used to hold only one reference to its
pwqs; however, since 4c16bd327c ("workqueue: implement NUMA affinity
for unbound workqueues"), a workqueue may hold multiple references to
its default pwq triggering this sanity check spuriously.
Fix it by not triggering the pwq->refcnt assertion on default pwqs.
An example spurious WARN trigger follows.
