Subject: [PATCH v2 1/1] kthread: break dependency between worker->lock and task_struct->pi_lock
A number of kthread-related functions indirectly take task_struct->pi_lock
while holding worker->lock in the call chain like this:
spin_lock(&worker->lock)
kthread_insert_work
wake_up_process
try_to_wake_up
raw_spin_lock_irqsave(&p->pi_lock, flags)
This lock dependency exists whenever kthread_insert_work is called either
directly or indirectly via __kthread_queue_delayed_work in the following
functions:
kthread_queue_work
kthread_delayed_work_timer_fn
kthread_queue_delayed_work
kthread_flush_work
kthread_mod_delayed_work
This creates possibilities for circular dependencies like the one reported
at [1]. Break this lock dependency by moving task wakeup after worker->lock
has been released.

v2:
* replace lkml link with lore.kernel.org one
* change a line break to be more consistent with the rest of the code
