6.6-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman gregkh@linuxfoundation.org
This reverts commit 6c592f0bb96815117538491e5ba12e0a8a8c4493 which is commit 4c6380305d21e36581b451f7337a36c93b64e050 upstream.
The workqueue patches backported to 6.6.y caused some reported regressions, so revert them for now.
