Task or work item involved in memory reclaim trying to flush a
non-WQ_MEM_RECLAIM workqueue or one of its work items can lead to
deadlock.  Trigger WARN_ONCE() if such conditions are detected.

Hello,

So, something like this.  Seems to work fine here.  If there's no
objection, I'm gonna push it through wq/for-4.5.

Thanks.
