workqueue: fix race condition in unbound workqueue free path
8864b4e59 ("workqueue: implement get/put_pwq()") implemented pwq
(pool_workqueue) refcnting which frees workqueue when the last pwq
goes away. It determined whether it was the last pwq by testing
wq->pwqs is empty. Unfortunately, the test was done outside wq->mutex
and multiple pwq release could race and try to free wq multiple times
leading to oops.
Test wq->pwqs emptiness while holding wq->mutex.
