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.
