workqueue: debug flushing deadlocks with lockdep
In the following scenario:
code path 1:
my_function() -> lock(L1); ...; flush_workqueue(); ...
code path 2:
run_workqueue() -> my_work() -> ...; lock(L1); ...
you can get a deadlock when my_work() is queued or running
but my_function() has acquired L1 already.
This patch adds a pseudo-lock to each workqueue to make lockdep
warn about this scenario.
