No, one had nothing to do with the other. Serfdom was abolished in 1861 although in practical terms, they were not fully freed. World War 2 did not begin until 1939 and even then the Soviet Union was not involved in it. The main cause of WW2 was the imperial intentions of Germany. Germany attacked Russia in order to overthrow the Communist government not to reinstate serfdom.
In any event, whether the serfs were free or not, they were a ready source of supply to the country as soldiers and would have been conscripted into the Soviet Army whether or not they were serfs.
