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, 4c16bd32

 ("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.
