io_uring/io-wq: fix
Commit 88e6c42 ("io_uring/io-wq: add check free worker before
create new worker") reused the variable `do_create` for something
else, abusing it for the free worker check.
This caused the value to effectively always be `true` at the time
`nr_workers < max_workers` was checked, but it should really be
`false`. This means the `max_workers` setting was ignored, and worse:
if the limit had already been reached, incrementing `nr_workers` was
skipped even though another worker would be created.
When later lots of workers exit, the `nr_workers` field could easily
underflow, making the problem worse because more and more workers
would be created without incrementing `nr_workers`.
The simple solution is to use a different variable for the free worker
check instead of using one variable for two different things.
