[PATCH] Fix SAK_work workqueue initialization.

From: Eric W. Biederman
Date: Tue Feb 13 2007 - 16:39:35 EST



Somewhere in the rewrite of the work queues my cleanup of SAK handling
got broken. Maybe I didn't retest it properly or possibly the API
was changing so fast I missed something. Regardless currently
triggering a SAK now generates an ugly BUG_ON and kills the kernel.

Thanks to Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@xxxxxxxxxx> for spotting this.

This modifies the use of SAK_work to initialize it when the data
structure it resides in is initialized, and to simply call
schedule_work when we need to generate a SAK. I update both
data structures that have a SAK_work member for consistency.

All of the old PREPARE_WORK calls that are now gone.

If we call schedule_work again before it has processed it
has generated the first SAK it will simply ignore the duplicate
schedule_work request.
