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"
* 'for-4.5-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq:
workqueue: handle NUMA_NO_NODE for unbound pool_workqueue lookup
workqueue: implement "workqueue.debug_force_rr_cpu" debug feature
workqueue: schedule WORK_CPU_UNBOUND work on wq_unbound_cpumask CPUs
Revert "workqueue: make sure delayed work run in local cpu"
workqueue: skip flush dependency checks for legacy workqueues
