Pavankumar Kondeti db6365ced4 workqueue: Fix NULL current_pwq deref in flush dependency check 
check_flush_dependency() uses current_wq_worker() to determine whether
the caller is a workqueue worker and then dereferences worker->current_pwq
to test whether the current workqueue is WQ_MEM_RECLAIM.

current_wq_worker() only means that %current has PF_WQ_WORKER set. A
kworker can reach check_flush_dependency() while it is not executing a
work item. One such path is worker_thread() acting as the pool manager,
where create_worker() does GFP_KERNEL allocation and the allocation path
invokes the OOM notifier. In that state worker->current_pwq is NULL
because current_pwq is set only by process_one_work() and cleared again
after the work function returns.

Guard the WQ_MEM_RECLAIM-worker warning with worker->current_pwq. If the
kworker is not currently executing a work item, there is no current
workqueue to diagnose with that warning. The PF_MEMALLOC warning is left
unchanged so explicit reclaim context flushing a !WQ_MEM_RECLAIM target
is still reported.

Fixes: fca839c00a ("workqueue: warn if memory reclaim tries to flush !WQ_MEM_RECLAIM workqueue")
