4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Sergey Senozhatsky <[email protected]> commit 62635ea8c18f0f62df4cc58379e4f1d33afd5801 upstream. show_workqueue_state() can print out a lot of messages while being in atomic context, e.g. sysrq-t -> show_workqueue_state(). If the console device is slow it may end up triggering NMI hard lockup watchdog.
