workqueue: avoid recursion in run_workqueue()
1) lockdep will complain when run_workqueue() performs recursion.
2) The recursive implementation of run_workqueue() means that
flush_workqueue() and its documentation are inconsistent. This may
hide deadlocks and other bugs.
3) The recursion in run_workqueue() will poison cwq->current_work, but
flush_work() and __cancel_work_timer(), etcetera need a reliable
cwq->current_work.
