The former patch to add check between nr_workers and max_workers has a
bug, which will cause unconditionally creating io-workers. That's
because the result of the check doesn't affect the call of
create_io_worker(), fix it by bringing in a boolean value for it.

I don't get this hunk - we already know we're creating a worker, what's the
point in moving the incs?

Actually not much difference, I think we don't need to protect
nr_running and worker_refs by wqe->lock, so narrow the range of
raw_spin_lock_irq - raw_spin_unlock_irq

Agree, we don't need it, but it's not a fix as such. I'd rather defer that
one to a separate cleanup for the next release.
I'll send it later.
