[PATCH 6/7] workqueue: Remove the cacheline_aligned for nr_running

[Lai Jiangshan]

From: Lai Jiangshan <laijs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

nr_running is never modified remotely after the schedule callback in
wakeup path is removed.

Rather nr_running is often accessed with other fields in the pool
together, so the cacheline_aligned for nr_running isn't needed.
