This set of patches improves the work_on_cpu() function to eliminate circular lock dependencies from occurring by requiring the caller to insure the cpu does not go offline. This effectively models the previous behaviour using set_cpus_allowed(). The other fix is to use a separate work queue for work_on_cpu so it does not clash with kevent items that might already be on the queue from the same caller. This fixes the boot up and suspend/resume to disk problems previously seen.
