[PATCH 1/5] workqueue, sched: Notify workqueue of scheduling of RUNNING tasks

[Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>]

When a workqueue kworker goes to sleep, wq_worker_sleeping() is called so
that workqueue can manage concurrency. This patch renames
wq_worker_sleeping() to wq_worker_stopping() can calls it whenever a kworker
is scheduled out whether it's going to sleep or not.

Workqueue will use the schedule-out event of running tasks to automatically
detect CPU hogging work items and exclude them from concurrency management
so that they can't stall other work items.

This patch just moves the task_is_running() test from sched_submit_work() to
wq_worker_stopping(). No behavior change is intended. While at it, remove
the already outdated comment which doesn't cover the io_wq case.
