fsverity: Remove WQ_UNBOUND from fsverity read workqueue
WQ_UNBOUND causes significant scheduler latency on ARM64/Android. This
is problematic for latency sensitive workloads, like I/O
post-processing.
Removing WQ_UNBOUND gives a 96% reduction in fsverity workqueue related
scheduler latency and improves app cold startup times by ~30ms.
WQ_UNBOUND was also removed from the dm-verity workqueue for the same
reason [1].
This code was tested by running Android app startup benchmarks and
measuring how long the fsverity workqueue spent in the runnable state.
Before
Total workqueue scheduler latency: 553800us
After
Total workqueue scheduler latency: 18962us
