Subject: [PATCH 4/5] workqueue: implement current_is_async()

>From 84b233adcca3cacd5cfa8013a5feda7a3db4a9af Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Tejun Heo <tj@...nel.org>

This function queries whether %current is an async worker executing an
async item.  This will be used to implement warning on synchronous
request_module() from async workers.
