workqueue: fix ordered workqueues in NUMA setups
An ordered workqueue implements execution ordering by using single pool_workqueue with max_active == 1. On a given pool_workqueue, work items are processed in FIFO order and limiting max_active to 1 enforces the queued work items to be processed one by one. Unfortunately, 4c16bd327c ("workqueue: implement NUMA affinity for unbound workqueues") accidentally broke this guarantee by applying NUMA affinity to ordered workqueues too. On NUMA setups, an ordered workqueue would end up with separate pool_workqueues for different nodes. Each pool_workqueue still limits max_active to 1 but multiple work items may be executed concurrently and out of order depending on which node they are queued to. Fix it by using dedicated ordered_wq_attrs[] when creating ordered workqueues. The new attrs match the unbound ones except that no_numa is always set thus forcing all NUMA nodes to share the default pool_workqueue. While at it, add sanity check in workqueue creation path which verifies that an ordered workqueues has only the default pool_workqueue.
