workqueue: skip the node_nr_active update for non-unbound workqueuesgrafted
apply_wqattrs_commit() updates node_nr_active->max unconditionally. wq->node_nr_active[] is only allocated for unbound workqueues, so guard the call before per-cpu workqueues start using this path. No functional change: only unbound workqueues reach apply_wqattrs_*() today. Signed-off-by: Breno Leitao <leitao@debian.org> Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

+splice is a method for moving blocks of data around inside the kernel,
+without continually transferring them between the kernel and user space.

+pipes API
+=========
+
+Pipe interfaces are all for in-kernel (builtin image) use. They are not
+exported for use by modules.
