max_active is a workqueue-wide setting and the configured value is stored in wq->saved_max_active; however, the effective value was stored in pwq->max_active. While this is harmless, it makes max_active update process more complicated and gets in the way of the planned max_active semantic updates for unbound workqueues. This patches moves pwq->max_active to wq->max_active. This simplifies the code and makes freezing and noop max_active updates cheaper too. No user-visible behavior change is intended. As wq->max_active is updated while holding wq mutex but read without any locking, it now uses WRITE/READ_ONCE(). A new locking locking rule WO is added for it. v2: wq->max_active now uses WRITE/READ_ONCE() as suggested by Lai.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
