Merge branch 'for-4.0-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq

Pull workqueue fix from Tejun Heo:
 "One fix patch for a subtle livelock condition which can happen on
  PREEMPT_NONE kernels involving two racing cancel_work calls.  Whoever
  comes in the second has to wait for the previous one to finish.  This
  was implemented by making the later one block for the same condition
  that the former would be (work item completion) and then loop and
  retest; unfortunately, depending on the wake up order, the later one
  could lock out the former one to finish by busy looping on the cpu.

  This is fixed by implementing explicit wait mechanism.  Work item
  might not belong anywhere at this point and there's remote possibility
  of thundering herd problem.  I originally tried to use bit_waitqueue
  but it didn't work for static work items on modules.  It's currently
  using single wait queue with filtering wake up function and exclusive
  wakeup.  If this ever becomes a problem, which is not very likely, we
  can try to figure out a way to piggy back on bit_waitqueue"
