workqueue: fix race condition in flush_workqueue()
When one flusher is cascading to the next flusher, it first sets wq->first_flusher to the next one and sets up the next flush cycle. If there's nothing to do for the next cycle, it clears wq->flush_flusher and proceeds to the one after that. If the woken up flusher checks wq->first_flusher before it gets cleared, it will incorrectly assume the role of the first flusher, which triggers BUG_ON() sanity check. Fix it by checking wq->first_flusher again after grabbing the mutex. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
