[ Upstream commit ff06e45d3aace3f93d23956c1e655224f363ebe2 ]
Unconditionally use unbound work queue, and not just if wq_power_efficient is true. Because if the system is idle, KFENCE may wait, and by being run on the unbound work queue, we permit the scheduler to make better scheduling decisions and not require pinning KFENCE to the same CPU upon waking up.
