Merge branch 'for-4.5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq

Pull workqueue update from Tejun Heo:
 "Workqueue changes for v4.5.  One cleanup patch and three to improve
  the debuggability.

  Workqueue now has a stall detector which dumps workqueue state if any
  worker pool hasn't made forward progress over a certain amount of time
  (30s by default) and also triggers a warning if a workqueue which can
  be used in memory reclaim path tries to wait on something which can't
  be.

  These should make workqueue hangs a lot easier to debug."

* 'for-4.5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq:
  workqueue: simplify the apply_workqueue_attrs_locked()
  workqueue: implement lockup detector
  watchdog: introduce touch_softlockup_watchdog_sched()
  workqueue: warn if memory reclaim tries to flush !WQ_MEM_RECLAIM workqueue
