workqueue: Provide one lock class key per work_on_cpu() callsite 

[ Upstream commit 265f3ed077 ]

All callers of work_on_cpu() share the same lock class key for all the
functions queued. As a result the workqueue related locking scenario for
a function A may be spuriously accounted as an inversion against the
locking scenario of function B such as in the following model:

	long A(void *arg)
	{
		mutex_lock(&mutex);
		mutex_unlock(&mutex);
	}

	long B(void *arg)
	{
	}

	void launchA(void)
	{
		work_on_cpu(0, A, NULL);
	}

	void launchB(void)
	{
		mutex_lock(&mutex);
		work_on_cpu(1, B, NULL);
		mutex_unlock(&mutex);
	}

launchA and launchB running concurrently have no chance to deadlock.
However the above can be reported by lockdep as a possible locking
inversion because the works containing A() and B() are treated as
belonging to the same locking class.

The following shows an existing example of such a spurious lockdep splat:

	 kworker/0:1/9 is trying to acquire lock:
	 ffffffff9bc72f30 (cpu_hotplug_lock){++++}-{0:0}, at: _cpu_down+0x57/0x2b0

	 but task is already holding lock:
	 ffff9e3bc0057e60 ((work_completion)(&wfc.work)){+.+.}-{0:0}, at: process_scheduled_works+0x216/0x500

	 which lock already depends on the new lock.

	 other info that might help us debug this:

	 Chain exists of:
	   cpu_hotplug_lock --> rcu_state.barrier_mutex --> (work_completion)(&wfc.work)

	  Possible unsafe locking scenario:
