[PATCH] workqueue: Try to catch flush_work() without INIT_WORK().

From: Tetsuo Handa
Date: Fri Jan 18 2019 - 12:05:13 EST


syzbot found a flush_work() caller who forgot to call INIT_WORK()
because that work_struct was allocated by kzalloc(). But the message

INFO: trying to register non-static key.
the code is fine but needs lockdep annotation.
turning off the locking correctness validator.

by lock_map_acquire() is failing to tell that INIT_WORK() is missing.

Since flush_work() without INIT_WORK() is a bug, and INIT_WORK() should
set ->func field to non-zero, let's warn if ->func field is zero.
