workqueue: The default node_nr_active should have its max set to max_…

…active

The default nna (node_nr_active) is used when the pool isn't tied to a
specific NUMA node. This can happen in the following cases:

 1. On NUMA, if per-node pwq init failure and the fallback pwq is used.
 2. On NUMA, if a pool is configured to span multiple nodes.
 3. On single node setups.

5797b1c ("workqueue: Implement system-wide nr_active enforcement for
unbound workqueues") set the default nna->max to min_active because only SELinuxProject#1
was being considered. For SELinuxProject#2 and SELinuxProject#3, using min_active means that the max
concurrency in normal operation is pushed down to min_active which is
currently 8, which can obviously lead to performance issues.

exact value nna->max is set to doesn't really matter. SELinuxProject#2 can only happen if
the workqueue is intentionally configured to ignore NUMA boundaries and
there's no good way to distribute max_active in this case. SELinuxProject#3 is the default
behavior on single node machines.

Let's set it the default nna->max to max_active. This fixes the artificially
lowered concurrency problem on single node machines and shouldn't hurt
anything for other cases.
