Merge branch 'for-3.6' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq

Pull workqueue changes from Tejun Heo:
 "There are three major changes.

   - WQ_HIGHPRI has been reimplemented so that high priority work items
     are served by worker threads with -20 nice value from dedicated
     highpri worker pools.

   - CPU hotplug support has been reimplemented such that idle workers
     are kept across CPU hotplug events.  This makes CPU hotplug cheaper
     (for PM) and makes the code simpler.

   - flush_kthread_work() has been reimplemented so that a work item can
     be freed while executing.  This removes an annoying behavior
     difference between kthread_worker and workqueue."

* 'for-3.6' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq:
  workqueue: fix spurious CPU locality WARN from process_one_work()
  kthread_worker: reimplement flush_kthread_work() to allow freeing the work item being executed
  kthread_worker: reorganize to prepare for flush_kthread_work() reimplementation
  workqueue: simplify CPU hotplug code
  workqueue: remove CPU offline trustee
  workqueue: don't butcher idle workers on an offline CPU
  workqueue: reimplement CPU online rebinding to handle idle workers
  workqueue: drop @bind from create_worker()
  workqueue: use mutex for global_cwq manager exclusion
  workqueue: ROGUE workers are UNBOUND workers
  workqueue: drop CPU_DYING notifier operation
  workqueue: perform cpu down operations from low priority cpu_notifier()
  workqueue: reimplement WQ_HIGHPRI using a separate worker_pool
  workqueue: introduce NR_WORKER_POOLS and for_each_worker_pool()
  workqueue: separate out worker_pool flags
  workqueue: use @pool instead of @gcwq or @cpu where applicable
  workqueue: factor out worker_pool from global_cwq
  workqueue: don't use WQ_HIGHPRI for unbound workqueues
