locking/lockdep: Fix workqueue crossrelease annotation



The new completion/crossrelease annotations interact unfavourable with
the extant flush_work()/flush_workqueue() annotations.

The problem is that when a single work class does:

  wait_for_completion(&C)

and

  complete(&C)

in different executions, we'll build dependencies like:

  lock_map_acquire(W)
  complete_acquire(C)

and

  lock_map_acquire(W)
  complete_release(C)

which results in the dependency chain: W->C->W, which lockdep thinks
spells deadlock, even though there is no deadlock potential since
works are ran concurrently.

One possibility would be to change the work 'lock' to recursive-read,
but that would mean hitting a lockdep limitation on recursive locks.
Also, unconditinoally switching to recursive-read here would fail to
detect the actual deadlock on single-threaded workqueues, which do
have a problem with this.

For now, forcefully disregard these locks for crossrelease.
