workqueue: Make sure that wq_unbound_cpumask is never empty

commit 4a6c5607d4502ccd1b15b57d57f17d12b6f257a7 upstream.

During boot, depending on how the housekeeping and workqueue.unbound_cpus
masks are set, wq_unbound_cpumask can end up empty. Since 8639ecebc9b1
("workqueue: Implement non-strict affinity scope for unbound workqueues"),
this may end up feeding -1 as a CPU number into scheduler leading to oopses.

  BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffffff8305e9c0
  #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode
  #PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page

An empty wq_unbound_cpumask is a clear misconfiguration and already
disallowed once system is booted up. Let's warn on and ignore
unbound_cpumask restrictions which lead to no unbound cpus. While at it,
also remove now unncessary empty check on wq_unbound_cpumask in
wq_select_unbound_cpu().
