Merge branch 'for-5.11' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq
Pull workqueue update from Tejun Heo: "The same as the cgroup tree - one commit which was scheduled for the 5.11 merge window. All the commit does is avoding spurious worker wakeups from workqueue allocation / config change path to help cpuisol use cases" * 'for-5.11' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq: workqueue: Kick a worker based on the actual activation of delayed works
