Hmmm... we're not getting anywhere.  I've applied the following patch
to wq/for-4.8-fixes so that when this happens the next time we can
actually tell what the hell is going wrong.

Thanks.

Subject: [PATCH] workqueue: dump workqueue state on sanity check failures in
 destroy_workqueue()

destroy_workqueue() performs a number of sanity checks to ensure that
the workqueue is empty before proceeding with destruction.  However,
it's not always easy to tell what's going on just from the warning
message.  Let's dump workqueue state after sanity check failures to
help debugging.
