Revert "workqueue: Implement system-wide nr_active enforcement for unbound workqueues"

Browse Source 
This reverts commit 5a70baec22 which is
commit 5797b1c18919cd9c289ded7954383e499f729ce0 upstream.

The workqueue patches backported to 6.6.y caused some reported
regressions, so revert them for now.

* For a per-cpu workqueue, @max_active limits the number of in-flight work

* for the whole system. e.g. @max_active of 16 indicates that that there can be
* at most 16 work items executing for the workqueue in the whole system.
*
* As sharing the same active counter for an unbound workqueue across multiple
* NUMA nodes can be expensive, @max_active is distributed to each NUMA node
* according to the proportion of the number of online CPUs and enforced
* independently.
*
* Depending on online CPU distribution, a node may end up with per-node
* max_active which is significantly lower than @max_active, which can lead to
* deadlocks if the per-node concurrency limit is lower than the maximum number
* of interdependent work items for the workqueue.
*
* To guarantee forward progress regardless of online CPU distribution, the
* concurrency limit on every node is guaranteed to be equal to or greater than
* min_active which is set to min(@max_active, %WQ_DFL_MIN_ACTIVE). This means
* that the sum of per-node max_active's may be larger than @max_active.
