[GIT PULL] workqueue fixes for v2.6.38-rc1

From: Tejun Heo

Hello, Linus.

Please pull from the following branch to receive workqueue fixes.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq.git fixes-2.6.38

It contains two patches. One relaxes lockdep annotation for
flush_work() such that it doesn't trigger spuriously when a work tries
to flush another work on the same multi-concurrency workqueue. The
other one just adds comment explaining a misleading piece of code.

Tejun Heo (2):
workqueue: relax lockdep annotation on flush_work()
workqueue: note the nested NOT_RUNNING test in worker_clr_flags() isn't a noop
