workqueue: drop apply_wqattrs_lock()/unlock() wrappers
The apply_wqattrs_lock()/unlock() helpers were introduced by commit a0111cf6710b ("workqueue: separate out and refactor the locking of applying attrs") to encapsulate the get_online_cpus() (later cpus_read_lock()) + mutex_lock(&wq_pool_mutex) acquire pair that was duplicated across the apply-attrs paths. Since commit 19af45757383 ("workqueue: Remove cpus_read_lock() from apply_wqattrs_lock()") removed the cpus_read_lock() (pwq creation and installation now operate on wq_online_cpumask, so CPU hotplug no longer needs to be excluded), the wrappers have been one-line forwarders to mutex_lock(&wq_pool_mutex)/mutex_unlock(&wq_pool_mutex). They no longer encode any non-trivial locking rule and obscure the fact that callers just take the existing wq_pool_mutex. This align with the "unnecessary" helpers that got discussed in [1] Inline the eight call sites and remove the wrappers. No functional change.
