3.15-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit cdda0e5acbb78f7b777049f8c27899e5c5bb368f upstream.
Calling the workqueue interface on uninitialized work items isn't a
good idea even if they're zeroed. It's not failing catastrophically only
through happy accidents.
