  One of the hunks for the patch resulting in
commit 84193c07105c ("workqueue: Generalize unbound CPU pods") was
applied incorrectly. This resulted in @wq_update_pod_attrs_buf
being allocated twice.

From the kmemleak detector:

unreferenced object 0xc0000000040074c0 (size 64):
  comm "swapper/0", pid 0, jiffies 4294937296 (age 1936.580s)
  hex dump (first 32 bytes):
    00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 03  ................

Remove the redundant allocation.

I tripped over this kmemleak report too. It'd be nice to get this into
-rc2. Tejun, are able to get this or the Sep 5th patch to Linus soon?

Applied Stephen's one. Sorry about the delay. Have been seek for a few
weeks.

Thanks.
