We recently broke strong locality guarantee for users which don't use
queue_work_on(), so the default locality is now only for optimization
instead of correctness anyway.  Unless there are actual benefits to
using WQ_UNBOUND, I think in general it's better to stick with as
little attributes as possible so that we have more maneuvering room
down the line.  But, yeah, if this can impact performance in subtle
ways, it could be best to just do an identity conversion at least for
now.

Thanks.
