workqueue: Fix deadlock due to recursive locking of pool->lock

Upstream commit d8bb65ab70f7 ("workqueue: Use rcuwait for wq_manager_wait")
replaced the waitqueue with rcuwait in the workqueue code. This change
involved removing the acquisition of pool->lock in put_unbound_pool(),
as it also adds the function wq_manager_inactive() which acquires this same
lock and is called one line later as a parameter to rcu_wait_event().

However, the backport of this commit in the PREEMPT_RT patchset
4.19.255-rt114 (patch 347) missed the removal of the acquisition of
pool->lock in put_unbound_pool(). This leads to a deadlock due to
recursive locking of pool->lock, as shown below in lockdep:

               other info that might help us debug this:

[  252.083921]  May be due to missing lock nesting notation

Fix this deadlock by removing the pool->lock acquisition in
put_unbound_pool().
