Subject: [PATCH 5.4 087/102] workqueue: Add RCU annotation for pwq list walk

From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@...utronix.de>

[ Upstream commit 49e9d1a9faf2f71fdfd80a30697ee9a15070626d ]

An additional check has been recently added to ensure that a RCU related lock
is held while the RCU list is iterated.
The `pwqs' are sometimes iterated without a RCU lock but with the &wq->mutex
acquired leading to a warning.

Teach list_for_each_entry_rcu() that the RCU usage is okay if &wq->mutex
is acquired during the list traversal.

Fixes: 28875945ba98d ("rcu: Add support for consolidated-RCU reader checking")
