Merge branch 'for-4.5-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq

Pull workqueue fixes from Tejun Heo:
 "Workqueue fixes for v4.5-rc3.

   - Remove a spurious triggering of flush dependency warning.

   - Officially break local execution guarantee of unbound work items
     and add a debug feature to flush out usages which depend on it.

   - Work around CPU -> NODE mapping becoming invalid on CPU offline.

  The branch is young but pushing out early as stable kernels are being
  affected"

Workqueue used to implicitly guarantee that work items queued
without explicit CPU specified are put on the local CPU. This
guarantee is no longer true and while local CPU is still
preferred work items may be put on foreign CPUs. Kernel
parameter "workqueue.debug_force_rr_cpu" is added to force
round-robin CPU selection to flush out usages which depend on the
now broken guarantee. This config option enables the debug
feature by default. When enabled, memory and cache locality will
be impacted.
