I see what you mean now, that hunk wasn't supposed to be in my patch, I
wanted to move not copy the code.

I think this could lead to false positives, but then I think we
shouldn't care about those. Let me explain. The thing is that with this
it can happen that the code using the workqueue somehow obeys an
ordering in the work it queues, so as far as I can tell it'd be fine to
have two work items A and B where only B takes a lock L1, and then have
a wait_on_work(A) under L1, if and only if B was always queued right
after A (or something like that). However, since this invariant is
rather likely to be broken by subsequent changes to the code, I think
such code should probably use two workqueues instead, and I doubt it
ever happens anyway since then people could in most cases just put both
works into one function. Hence I included it in my patch below.

The idea here was that it would cover cleanup_workqueue_thread() as
well, but I can equally well just put it there, as below.
Arjan, thanks for your help, this patch seems to work as expected
without the false positive that was my previous dump I showed.
Here's my example rechecked with this new patch:

to that particular machine.
