* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq:
  workqueue: remove in_workqueue_context()
  workqueue: Clarify that schedule_on_each_cpu is synchronous
  memory_hotplug: drop spurious calls to flush_scheduled_work()
  shpchp: update workqueue usage
  pciehp: update workqueue usage
  isdn/eicon: don't call flush_scheduled_work() from diva_os_remove_soft_isr()
  workqueue: add and use WQ_MEM_RECLAIM flag
  workqueue: fix HIGHPRI handling in keep_working()
  workqueue: add queue_work and activate_work trace points
  workqueue: prepare for more tracepoints
  workqueue: implement flush[_delayed]_work_sync()
  workqueue: factor out start_flush_work()
  workqueue: cleanup flush/cancel functions
  workqueue: implement alloc_ordered_workqueue()

Fix up trivial conflict in fs/gfs2/main.c as per Tejun
