Merge branch 'for-3.9-async' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq

Pull async changes from Tejun Heo:
 "These are followups for the earlier deadlock issue involving async
  ending up waiting for itself through block requesting module[1].  The
  following changes are made by these commits.

   - Instead of requesting default elevator on each request_queue init,
     block now requests it once early during boot.

   - Kmod triggers warning if invoked from an async worker.

   - Async synchronization implementation has been reimplemented.  It's
     a lot simpler now."

* 'for-3.9-async' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq:
  async: initialise list heads to fix crash
  async: replace list of active domains with global list of pending items
  async: keep pending tasks on async_domain and remove async_pending
  async: use ULLONG_MAX for infinity cookie value
  async: bring sanity to the use of words domain and running
  async, kmod: warn on synchronous request_module() from async workers
  block: don't request module during elevator init
  init, block: try to load default elevator module early during boot
