[PATCH RT 4/9] Revert "workqueue: Use local irq lock instead of irq disable regions"

[Daniel Wagner]

From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

v4.19.255-rt114-rc1 stable review patch.
If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

-----------


This reverts the PREEMPT_RT related changes to workqueue. It reverts the
usage of local_locks() and cpu_chill().

This is a preparation to pull in the PREEMPT_RT related changes which
were merged upstream.

[wagi: 827b6f6962da ("workqueue: rework") already reverted
       most of the changes, except the missing update in
       put_pwq_unlocked.]
