Merge branch 'for-3.6-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/ke…

…rnel/git/tj/wq

Pull workqueue / powernow-k8 fix from Tejun Heo:
 "This is the fix for the bug where cpufreq/powernow-k8 was tripping
  BUG_ON() in try_to_wake_up_local() by migrating workqueue worker to a
  different CPU.

    https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47301

  As discussed, the fix is now two parts - one to reimplement
  work_on_cpu() so that it doesn't create a new kthread each time and
  the actual fix which makes powernow-k8 use work_on_cpu() instead of
  performing manual migration.

  While pretty late in the merge cycle, both changes are on the safer
  side.  Jiri and I verified two existing users of work_on_cpu() and
  Duncan confirmed that the powernow-k8 fix survived about 18 hours of
  testing."

  cpufreq/powernow-k8: workqueue user shouldn't migrate the kworker to another CPU
  workqueue: reimplement work_on_cpu() using system_wq
