Subject: [PATCH wq/for-3.9] workqueue: pick cwq instead of pool in
 __queue_work()

From: Lai Jiangshan <laijs@...fujitsu.com>

Currently, __queue_work() chooses the pool to queue a work item to and
then determines cwq from the target wq and the chosen pool.  This is a
bit backwards in that we can determine cwq first and simply use
cwq->pool.  This way, we can skip get_std_worker_pool() in queueing
path which will be a hurdle when implementing custom worker pools.

Update __queue_work() such that it chooses the target cwq and then use
cwq->pool instead of the other way around.  While at it, add missing
{} in an if statement.

This patch doesn't introduce any functional changes.
