[PATCH] kernel/workqueue: Only unregister a lockdep key if it has been registered first

From: Bart Van Assche
Date: Mon Mar 11 2019 - 19:03:06 EST


Only call wq_unregister_lockdep() if wq_register_lockdep() has been
called first. This patch avoids that the following warning is reported:

WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 6970 at kernel/locking/lockdep.c:4925 lockdep_unregister_key+0x21c/0x4e0

That warning refers to the following source code statement:

WARN_ON_ONCE(!found);
