Merge branch 'for-4.6-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq
Pull workqueue fix from Tejun Heo:
"CPU hotplug callbacks can invoke DOWN_FAILED w/o preceding
DOWN_PREPARE which can trigger a WARN_ON() in workqueue.
The bug has been there for a very long time. It only triggers if CPU
down fails at a specific point and I don't think it has adverse
effects other than the warning messages. The fix is very low impact"
