6.7-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Tejun Heo <tj@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit aac8a59537dfc704ff344f1aacfd143c089ee20f upstream.
This reverts commit ca10d851b9ad0338c19e8e3089e24d565ebfffd7.
The commit allowed workqueue_apply_unbound_cpumask() to clear __WQ_ORDERED
on now removed implicitly ordered workqueues. This was incorrect in that
system-wide config change shouldn't break ordering properties of all
workqueues. The reason why apply_workqueue_attrs() path was allowed to do so
was because it was targeting the specific workqueue - either the workqueue
had WQ_SYSFS set or the workqueue user specifically tried to change
max_active, both of which indicate that the workqueue doesn't need to be
ordered.
The implicitly ordered workqueue promotion was removed by the previous
commit 3bc1e711c26b ("workqueue: Don't implicitly make UNBOUND workqueues w/
@max_active==1 ordered"). However, it didn't update this path and broke
build. Let's revert the commit which was incorrect in the first place which
also fixes build.
