Hi Tejun, James,

While trying to use drain_workqueue() in libsas I hit the
WARN_ON_ONCE(!is_chained_work(wq)) in __queue_work().  However, as I
mention in patch-2 libsas expects that new unchained work can be
submitted during a drain.  So, patch-2 is a hack to accept new work when
drain_workqueue() is used publicly as a "stronger flush", while keeping
the same warn+drop behavior for internal usages of drain_workqueue() in
the destroy_workqueue() case.

Smoke tested on sas topoloogy of:
host-->ata
host-->expander-->ata
host-->expander-->expander-->ata
