Sebastian Andrzej Siewior 62849a9612 workqueue: Remove the warning in wq_worker_sleeping()
The kernel test robot triggered a warning with the following race:
   task-ctx A                            interrupt-ctx B
 worker
  -> process_one_work()
    -> work_item()
      -> schedule();
         -> sched_submit_work()
           -> wq_worker_sleeping()
             -> ->sleeping = 1
               atomic_dec_and_test(nr_running)
         __schedule();                *interrupt*
                                       async_page_fault()
                                       -> local_irq_enable();
                                       -> schedule();
                                          -> sched_submit_work()
                                            -> wq_worker_sleeping()
                                               -> if (WARN_ON(->sleeping)) return
                                          -> __schedule()
                                            ->  sched_update_worker()
                                              -> wq_worker_running()
                                                 -> atomic_inc(nr_running);
                                                 -> ->sleeping = 0;

      ->  sched_update_worker()
        -> wq_worker_running()
          if (!->sleeping) return

In this context the warning is pointless everything is fine.
An interrupt before wq_worker_sleeping() will perform the ->sleeping
assignment (0 -> 1 > 0) twice.
An interrupt after wq_worker_sleeping() will trigger the warning and
nr_running will be decremented (by A) and incremented once (only by B, A
will skip it). This is the case until the ->sleeping is zeroed again in
wq_worker_running().

Remove the WARN statement because this condition may happen. Document
that preemption around wq_worker_sleeping() needs to be disabled to
protect ->sleeping and not just as an optimisation.
