Pull workqueue updates from Tejun Heo:
- Rework the rescuer to process work items one-by-one instead of
slurping all pending work items in a single pass.
As there is only one rescuer per workqueue, a single long-blocking
work item could cause high latency for all tasks queued behind it,
even after memory pressure is relieved and regular kworkers become
available to service them.
- Add CONFIG_BOOTPARAM_WQ_STALL_PANIC build-time option and
workqueue.panic_on_stall_time parameter for time-based stall panic,
giving systems more control over workqueue stall handling.
- Replace BUG_ON() with panic() in the stall panic path for clearer
intent and more informative output.
