SubjectLockdep message on workqueue_mutex
git commit 9b41ea7289a589993d3daabc61f999b4147872c4 causes the lockdep
message below on cpu hotplug (git kernel of today).

We have:

cpu_down (takes cpu_add_remove_lock)
[CPU_DOWN_PREPARE]
blocking_notifier_call_chain (takes (cpu_chain).rwsem)
workqueue_cpu_callback (takes workqueue_mutex)
blocking_notifier_call_chain (releases (cpu_chain).rwsem)
[CPU_DEAD]
blocking_notifier_call_chain (takes (cpu_chain).rwsem)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-> reverse locking order, since we still hold workqueue_mutex.

But since all of this is protected by the cpu_add_remove_lock this looks
legal. Well, at least it's safe as long as no other cpu callback function
does anything that will take the workqueue_mutex as well.

=======================================================
[ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]
-------------------------------------------------------
bash/1308 is trying to acquire lock:
((cpu_chain).rwsem){..--}, at: [<0000000000139b5a>] blocking_notifier_call_chain+0x32/0x64

but task is already holding lock:
(workqueue_mutex){--..}, at: [<000000000043e312>] mutex_lock+0x3e/0x4c

which lock already depends on the new lock.


the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:
