Tejun Heo bc8b50c2df workqueue: Drop the special locking rule for worker->flags and worker_pool->flags
worker->flags used to be accessed from scheduler hooks without grabbing
pool->lock for concurrency management. This is no longer true since
6d25be5782 ("sched/core, workqueues: Distangle worker accounting from rq
lock"). Also, it's unclear why worker_pool->flags was using the "X" rule.
All relevant users are accessing it under the pool lock.

Let's drop the special "X" rule and use the "L" rule for these flag fields
instead. While at it, replace the CONTEXT comment with
lockdep_assert_held().

This allows worker_set/clr_flags() to be used from context which isn't the
worker itself. This will be used later to implement assinging work items to
workers before waking them up so that workqueue can have better control over
which worker executes which work item on which CPU.

The only actual changes are sanity checks. There shouldn't be any visible
behavior changes.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
