This matches a patch by Tejun a few weeks ago which was partially
skipped in -next due to merge conflict with code split in picoLCD.

See http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.next/23740

For the sake of proper bisectability, this should go in after
Tejun's workqueue changes (if needed at all depending on how merge
happens during pull by Linus).
