workqueue: debug flushing deadlocks with lockdep
In the following scenario: code path 1: my_function() -> lock(L1); ...; flush_workqueue(); ... code path 2: run_workqueue() -> my_work() -> ...; lock(L1); ... you can get a deadlock when my_work() is queued or running but my_function() has acquired L1 already. This patch adds a pseudo-lock to each workqueue to make lockdep warn about this scenario.
