Merge branch 'for-4.13-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq

Pull workqueue fixes from Tejun Heo:
 "Two notable fixes.

   - While adding NUMA affinity support to unbound workqueues, the
     assumption that an unbound workqueue with max_active == 1 is
     ordered was broken.

     The plan was to use explicit alloc_ordered_workqueue() for those
     cases. Unfortunately, I forgot to update the documentation properly
     and we grew a handful of use cases which depend on that assumption.

     While we want to convert them to alloc_ordered_workqueue(), we
     don't really lose anything by enforcing ordered execution on
     unbound max_active == 1 workqueues and it doesn't make sense to
     risk subtle bugs. Restore the assumption.

   - Workqueue assumes that CPU <-> NUMA node mapping remains static.

     This is a general assumption - we don't have any synchronization
     mechanism around CPU <-> node mapping. Unfortunately, powerpc may
     change the mapping dynamically leading to crashes. Michael added a
     workaround so that we at least don't crash while powerpc hotplug
     code gets updated"

* 'for-4.13-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq:
  workqueue: Work around edge cases for calc of pool's cpumask
  workqueue: implicit ordered attribute should be overridable
  workqueue: restore WQ_UNBOUND/max_active==1 to be ordered
