Merge branch 'for-5.6-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq

Pull workqueue fixes from Tejun Heo:
 "Workqueue has been incorrectly round-robining per-cpu work items.
  Hillf's patch fixes that.

  The other patch documents memory-ordering properties of workqueue
  operations"

* 'for-5.6-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq:
  workqueue: don't use wq_select_unbound_cpu() for bound works
  workqueue: Document (some) memory-ordering properties of {queue,schedule}_work()
