workqueue: avoid recursion in run_workqueue() 

1) lockdep will complain when run_workqueue() performs recursion.

2) The recursive implementation of run_workqueue() means that
   flush_workqueue() and its documentation are inconsistent.  This may
   hide deadlocks and other bugs.

3) The recursion in run_workqueue() will poison cwq->current_work, but
   flush_work() and __cancel_work_timer(), etcetera need a reliable
   cwq->current_work.
