Subject: workqueue: fix locking in retry path of maybe_create_worker()
X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=9f9c23644b07e7a51f6f39064e61c150be712932;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

workqueue: fix locking in retry path of maybe_create_worker()

maybe_create_worker() mismanaged locking when worker creation fails
and it has to retry.  Fix locking and simplify lock manipulation.
