What I Meant To Say, if (WARN_ON(node == NUMA_NO_NODE)) is true, this cause
wq_numa_enabled to be set the false. That is, the wq_update_unbound_numa_attrs_buf
will be useless.

It can free the the wq_update_unbound_numa_attrs_buf while the WARN_ON condition is
true;
Or, better way is that only when the wq_numa_enabled is true, we will allocate the
wq_update_unbound_numa_attrs_buf;

However, just like your said, the WARN_ON condition should never happen,
Maybe this change is not useless too :) .
