"make get_online_cpus() useable for work->func()" changed the locking.
destroy_workqueue() was changed to take cpu_maps_update_begin() instead
of get_online_cpus(). Other patches can't make any difference afaics.

Currently I don't understand why lockdep complains, will try to do
more grepping later.
