Pull workqueue fix from Tejun Heo:
"Another fix for a really old bug.
It only affects drain_workqueue() which isn't used often and even then
triggers only during a pretty small race window, so it isn't too
surprising that it stayed hidden for so long.
The fix is straight-forward and low-risk. Kudos to Li Bin for
reporting and fixing the bug"
