They shouldn't.  Each CQ has a single work_struct, and any given work_struct
should only be executing at once:

"Note that the flag ``WQ_NON_REENTRANT`` no longer exists as all
workqueues are now non-reentrant - any work item is guaranteed to be
executed by at most one worker system-wide at any given time."

This should not be the case.  What kernel version are you testing and does
it contain any patches touching core kernel code?
