Frederic Weisbecker 265f3ed077 workqueue: Provide one lock class key per work_on_cpu() callsite
All callers of work_on_cpu() share the same lock class key for all the
functions queued. As a result the workqueue related locking scenario for
a function A may be spuriously accounted as an inversion against the
locking scenario of function B such as in the following model:

	long A(void *arg)
	{
		mutex_lock(&mutex);
		mutex_unlock(&mutex);
	}

	long B(void *arg)
	{
	}

	void launchA(void)
	{
		work_on_cpu(0, A, NULL);
	}

	void launchB(void)
	{
		mutex_lock(&mutex);
		work_on_cpu(1, B, NULL);
		mutex_unlock(&mutex);
	}

launchA and launchB running concurrently have no chance to deadlock.
However the above can be reported by lockdep as a possible locking
inversion because the works containing A() and B() are treated as
belonging to the same locking class.

The following shows an existing example of such a spurious lockdep splat:
