This pre-declaration was unneeded since a previous refactor patch

Subject: [PATCH 2/3] workqueue: remove the lock from wq_sysfs_prep_attrs()

Reading to wq->unbound_attrs requires protection of either wq_pool_mutex
or wq->mutex, and wq_sysfs_prep_attrs() is called with wq_pool_mutex held,
so we don't need to grab wq->mutex here.
