workqueue: avoid false negative WARN_ON() in destroy_workqueue()
destroy_workqueue() performs several sanity checks before proceeding with destruction of a workqueue. One of the checks verifies that refcnt of each pwq (pool_workqueue) is over 1 as at that point there should be no in-flight work items and the only holder of pwq refs is the workqueue itself. This worked fine as a workqueue used to hold only one reference to its pwqs; however, since 4c16bd327c ("workqueue: implement NUMA affinity for unbound workqueues"), a workqueue may hold multiple references to its default pwq triggering this sanity check spuriously. Fix it by not triggering the pwq->refcnt assertion on default pwqs. An example spurious WARN trigger follows.
