Commit 37b1ef31a568fc02e53587620226e5f3c66454c8 ("workqueue: move
flush_scheduled_work() to workqueue.h") moved the exported non GPL
flush_scheduled_work() from a function to an inline wrapper.
Unfortunately, it directly calls flush_workqueue() which is a GPL function.
This has the effect of changing the licensing requirement for this function
and makes it unavailable to non GPL modules.See commit ad7b1f841f8a54c6d61ff181451f55b68175e15a ("workqueue: Make
schedule_work() available again to non GPL modules") for precedent.Signed-off-by: Tim Gardner

Commit 835a6a2f8603 ("Bluetooth: Stop sabotaging list poisoning")
thought that the code was sabotaging the list poisoning when NULL'ing
out the list pointers and removed it.But what was going on was that the bluetooth code was using NULL
pointers for the list as a way to mark it empty, and that commit just
broke it (and replaced the test with NULL with a "list_empty()" test on
a uninitialized list instead, breaking things even further).So fix it all up to use the regular and real list_empty() handling
(which does not use NULL, but a pointer to itself), also making sure to
initialize the list properly (the previous NULL case was initialized
implicitly by the session being allocated with kzalloc())This is a combination of patches by Marcel Holtmann and Tedd Ho-Jeong
An.[ I would normally expect to get this through the bt tree, but I'm going
to release -rc1, so I'm just committing this directly - Linus ]Reported-and-tested-by: Jörg Otte

Pull SCSI target updates from Nicholas Bellinger:
"It's been a busy development cycle for target-core in a number of
different areas.The fabric API usage for se_node_acl allocation is now within
target-core code, dropping the external API callers for all fabric
drivers tree-wide.There is a new conversion to RCU hlists for se_node_acl and
se_portal_group LUN mappings, that turns fast-past LUN lookup into a
completely lockless code-path. It also removes the original
hard-coded limitation of 256 LUNs per fabric endpoint.The configfs attributes for backends can now be shared between core
and driver code, allowing existing drivers to use common code while
still allowing flexibility for new backend provided attributes.The highlights include:
- Merge sbc_verify_dif_* into common code (sagi)
- Remove iscsi-target support for obsolete IFMarker/OFMarker
(Christophe Vu-Brugier)
- Add bidi support in target/user backend (ilias + vangelis + agover)
- Move se_node_acl allocation into target-core code (hch)
