Tejun Heo dd6c3c5441 workqueue: Move pwq_dec_nr_in_flight() to the end of work item handling
The planned shared nr_active handling for unbound workqueues will make
pwq_dec_nr_active() sometimes drop the pool lock temporarily to acquire
other pool locks, which is necessary as retirement of an nr_active count
from one pool may need kick off an inactive work item in another pool.

This patch moves pwq_dec_nr_in_flight() call in try_to_grab_pending() to the
end of work item handling so that work item state changes stay atomic.
process_one_work() which is the other user of pwq_dec_nr_in_flight() already
calls it at the end of work item handling. Comments are added to both call
sites and pwq_dec_nr_in_flight().

This shouldn't cause any behavior changes.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
