Merge branch 'for-4.2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq

Pull workqueue updates from Tejun Heo:
 "Most of the changes are around implementing and fixing fallouts from
  sysfs and internal interface to limit the CPUs available to all
  unbound workqueues to help isolating CPUs.  It needs more work as
  ordered workqueues can roam unrestricted but still is a significant
  improvement"

* 'for-4.2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq:
  workqueue: fix typos in comments
  workqueue: move flush_scheduled_work() to workqueue.h
  workqueue: remove the lock from wq_sysfs_prep_attrs()
  workqueue: remove the declaration of copy_workqueue_attrs()
  workqueue: ensure attrs changes are properly synchronized
  workqueue: separate out and refactor the locking of applying attrs
  workqueue: simplify wq_update_unbound_numa()
  workqueue: wq_pool_mutex protects the attrs-installation
  workqueue: fix a typo
  workqueue: function name in the comment differs from the real function name
  workqueue: fix trivial typo in Documentation/workqueue.txt
  workqueue: Allow modifying low level unbound workqueue cpumask
  workqueue: Create low-level unbound workqueues cpumask
  workqueue: split apply_workqueue_attrs() into 3 stages
