Joe Lawrence 789cbbeca4 workqueue: Add quiescent state between work items ... Similar to the stop_machine deadlock scenario on !PREEMPT kernels addressed in b22ce2785d "workqueue: cond_resched() after processing each work item", kworker threads requeueing back-to-back with zero jiffy delay can stall RCU. The cond_resched call introduced in that fix will yield only iff there are other higher priority tasks to run, so force a quiescent RCU state between work items.
