Nice catch!!!

The supposed correct behavior is documented in the head of
this function. We forgot to do it.

 * If NUMA affinity can't be adjusted due to memory allocation failure, it
 * falls back to @wq->dfl_pwq which may not be optimal but is always
 * correct.

Could you use the following code instead of "goto out_unlock":
                mutex_lock(&wq->mutex);
                if (pwq == wq->dfl_pwq)
                        goto out_unlock;
                else
                        goto use_dfl_pwq;

Correct&BAD. There are two blocks of suck code in this function:
                if (pwq == wq->dfl_pwq)
                        goto out_unlock;
                else
                        goto use_dfl_pwq;

You can replace both these two blocks code to the following code:
                goto use_dfl_pwq;

The result is the same as before except it adds some small overhead.
I don't care the small overhead in this function.

Thanks
