If we can find a valid worker that is serving the specified work at
the moment then the worker itself is enough to ensure reentrance and
workqueue doesn't matter here because it is permitted for a work to
requeue itself either on different cpu or numa node or even on another
workqueue.

Fixes: c9178087acd7 ("workqueue: perform non-reentrancy test when queueing to unbound workqueues too")
Fixes: 18aa9effad4a ("workqueue: implement WQ_NON_REENTRANT")

I do not follow what is the actual problem you are trying to fix here.
