workqueue: note the nested NOT_RUNNING test in worker_clr_flags() isn…

…'t a noop

The nested NOT_RUNNING test in worker_clr_flags() is slightly
misleading in that if NOT_RUNNING were a single flag the nested test
would be always %true and thus noop.  Add a comment noting that the
test isn't a noop.
