OK, below are the two patches (Alex's fix + the revert) I propose to
merge. Unless there are objections, I'll ask Linus to pull these
before v3.13-rc1.

PCI: Avoid unnecessary CPU switch when calling driver .probe() method
If we are already on a CPU local to the device, call the driver .probe()
method directly without using work_on_cpu().
This is a workaround for a lockdep warning in the following scenario:
pci_call_probe
work_on_cpu(cpu, local_pci_probe, ...)
driver .probe
pci_enable_sriov
...
pci_bus_add_device
...
pci_call_probe
work_on_cpu(cpu, local_pci_probe, ...)
It would be better to fix PCI so we don't call VF driver .probe() methods
from inside a PF driver .probe() method, but that's a bigger project.

Revert "workqueue: allow work_on_cpu() to be called recursively"
This reverts commit c2fda509667b0fda4372a237f5a59ea4570b1627.
c2fda509667b removed lockdep annotation from work_on_cpu() to work around
the PCI path that calls work_on_cpu() from within a work_on_cpu() work item
(PF driver .probe() method -> pci_enable_sriov() -> add VFs -> VF driver
.probe method).
84f23f99b507 ("PCI: Avoid unnecessary CPU switch when calling driver
.probe() method) avoids that recursive work_on_cpu() use in a different
way, so this revert restores the work_on_cpu() lockdep annotation.
