6.6-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> This reverts commit 5f99fee6f2dea1228980c3e785ab1a2c69b4da3c which is commit qc5404d4e6df6faba1007544b5f4e62c7c14416dd upstream. The workqueue patches backported to 6.6.y caused some reported regressions, so revert them for now.
