In unplug_oldest_pwq(), the first inactive work item on the
pool_workqueue is activated correctly. However, if multiple inactive
works exist on the same pool_workqueue, subsequent works fail to
activate because wq_node_nr_active.pending_pwqs is empty — the list
insertion is skipped when the pool_workqueue is plugged.

Fix this by checking for additional inactive works in
unplug_oldest_pwq() and updating wq_node_nr_active.pending_pwqs
accordingly.
