Merge branch 'for-4.14-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq
Pull workqueue fix from Tejun Heo: "Another fix for a really old bug. It only affects drain_workqueue() which isn't used often and even then triggers only during a pretty small race window, so it isn't too surprising that it stayed hidden for so long. The fix is straight-forward and low-risk. Kudos to Li Bin for reporting and fixing the bug" * 'for-4.14-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq: workqueue: Fix NULL pointer dereference
