Ummm... I (and maintainers in general) don't send pull-request
whenever I queue a fix patch.  I usually let them sit in the tree for
some weeks before sending a pull-request to Linus, so that the fixes
get some exposure in -next and more of them can be aggregated.  As
workqueue is seeing high level of activity these days, it's likely
that we'll see more fixes coming out of it, and your fix while marked
for -stable isn't that urgent, so I'm gonna wait for some more weeks
before sending out pull request to Linus.

Thanks for checking tho.
