Andrea Parri dbb92f8864 workqueue: Document (some) memory-ordering properties of {queue,schedule}_work()
It's desirable to be able to rely on the following property:  All stores
preceding (in program order) a call to a successful queue_work() will be
visible from the CPU which will execute the queued work by the time such
work executes, e.g.,

  { x is initially 0 }

    CPU0                              CPU1

    WRITE_ONCE(x, 1);                 [ "work" is being executed ]
    r0 = queue_work(wq, work);          r1 = READ_ONCE(x);

  Forbids: r0 == true && r1 == 0

The current implementation of queue_work() provides such memory-ordering
property:

  - In __queue_work(), the ->lock spinlock is acquired.

  - On the other side, in worker_thread(), this same ->lock is held
    when dequeueing work.

So the locking ordering makes things work out.

Add this property to the DocBook headers of {queue,schedule}_work().
