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.

SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +============ +Introduction +============ + +This document covers the Linux Kernel to Userspace API's used by video +and radio streaming devices, including video cameras, analog and digital +TV receiver cards, AM/FM receiver cards, Software Defined Radio (SDR), +streaming capture and output devices, codec devices and remote controllers. + +A typical media device hardware is shown at :ref:`typical_media_device`. + +.. _typical_media_device: + +.. kernel-figure:: typical_media_device.svg + :alt: typical_media_device.svg + :align: center + + Typical Media Device + +The media infrastructure API was designed to control such devices. It is +divided into five parts. + +1. The :ref:`first part <v4l2spec>` covers radio, video capture and output, + cameras, analog TV devices and codecs. + +2. The :ref:`second part <dvbapi>` covers the API used for digital TV and + Internet reception via one of the several digital tv standards. While it is + called as DVB API, in fact it covers several different video standards + including DVB-T/T2, DVB-S/S2, DVB-C, ATSC, ISDB-T, ISDB-S, DTMB, etc. The + complete list of supported standards can be found at + :c:type:`fe_delivery_system`. + +3. The :ref:`third part <remote_controllers>` covers the Remote Controller API. + +4. The :ref:`fourth part <media_controller>` covers the Media Controller API. + +5. The :ref:`fifth part <cec>` covers the CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) API. + +It should also be noted that a media device may also have audio components, like +mixers, PCM capture, PCM playback, etc, which are controlled via ALSA API.
