Merge branch 'for-4.3-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq

Pull workqueue fixlet from Tejun Heo:
 "Single patch to make delayed work always be queued on the local CPU"

This is not actually something we should guarantee, but it's something
we by accident have historically done, and at least one call site has
grown to depend on it.

I'm going to fix that known broken callsite, but in the meantime this
makes the accidental behavior be explicit, just in case there are other
cases that might depend on it.
