[PATCH 3.14 19/25] workqueue: make sure delayed work run in local cpu

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

3.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Shaohua Li <shli@xxxxxx>

commit 874bbfe600a660cba9c776b3957b1ce393151b76 upstream.

My system keeps crashing with below message. vmstat_update() schedules a delayed
work in current cpu and expects the work runs in the cpu.
schedule_delayed_work() is expected to make delayed work run in local cpu. The
problem is timer can be migrated with NO_HZ. __queue_work() queues work in
timer handler, which could run in a different cpu other than where the delayed
work is scheduled. The end result is the delayed work runs in different cpu.
The patch makes __queue_delayed_work records local cpu earlier. Where the timer
runs doesn't change where the work runs with the change.
