[PATCH 6.8 06/11] Revert "workqueue: Make wq_adjust_max_active() round-robin pwqs while activating"

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

6.8-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

This reverts commit ddb232dc0f1339f9ed506730fd6bee6f5e3dcb37 which is
commit c5404d4e6df6faba1007544b5f4e62c7c14416dd upstream.

The workqueue patches backported to 6.8.y caused some reported
regressions, so revert them for now.
