Merge branch 'for-3.15-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq

Pull workqueue fixes from Tejun Heo:
 "Fixes for two bugs in workqueue.

  One is exiting with internal mutex held in a failure path of
  wq_update_unbound_numa().  The other is a subtle and unlikely
  use-after-possible-last-put in the rescuer logic.  Both have been
  around for quite some time now and are unlikely to have triggered
  noticeably often.  All patches are marked for -stable backport"

* 'for-3.15-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq:
  workqueue: fix a possible race condition between rescuer and pwq-release
  workqueue: make rescuer_thread() empty wq->maydays list before exiting
  workqueue: fix bugs in wq_update_unbound_numa() failure path
