dm verity: stop using WQ_UNBOUND for verify_wq

Setting WQ_UNBOUND increases scheduler latency on ARM64.  This is
likely due to the asymmetric architecture of ARM64 processors.

I've been unable to reproduce the results that claim WQ_UNBOUND gives
a performance boost on x86-64.

This flag is causing performance issues for multiple subsystems within
Android.  Notably, the same slowdown exists for decompression with
EROFS.

| open-prebuilt-camera  | WQ_UNBOUND | ~WQ_UNBOUND   |
|-----------------------|------------|---------------|
| verity wait time (us) | 11746      | 119 (-98%)    |
| erofs wait time (us)  | 357805     | 174205 (-51%) |

| sha256 ramdisk random read | WQ_UNBOUND    | ~WQ_UNBOUND |
|----------------------------|-----------=---|-------------|
| arm64 (accelerated)        | bw=42.4MiB/s  | bw=212MiB/s |
| arm64 (generic)            | bw=16.5MiB/s  | bw=48MiB/s  |
| x86_64 (generic)           | bw=233MiB/s   | bw=230MiB/s |

Using a alloc_workqueue() @max_active arg of num_online_cpus() only
made sense with WQ_UNBOUND. Switch the @max_active arg to 0 (aka
default, which is 256 per-cpu).

Also, eliminate 'wq_flags' since it really doesn't serve a purpose.
