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"
