[PATCH] fix workqueue plist init to include a spinlock

From: Daniel Walker
Date: Tue Jan 29 2008 - 12:06:30 EST


The lock field in plist_head_init() is used for debugging the plist,
and if a NULL is sent in it spews constant errors with debugging enabled ..
So I added what looks like the correct spinlocks into the plist_head_init().
