  tools/workqueue/wq_dump.py: Support backward compatibility for wq->attrs rename (2026-08-31 10:17:08 -1000)

----------------------------------------------------------------
workqueue: Fixes for v7.3-rc1

- An unbound worker pool could be freed while still reachable through the
  pending-activation list, leading to a use-after-free. Unlink before
  dropping the reference.

- On PREEMPT_RT, the BH workqueue kick raised softirqs from preemptible
  context, tripping a lockdep assertion and possibly losing concurrently
  raised softirq bits.

- Draining BH work off a dead CPU nests two pools' callback locks, which
  lockdep misreported as recursive locking. The nesting cannot deadlock.
  Annotate it.

- Reject watchdog thresholds that overflow the conversion to jiffies.

- Make the drgn workqueue dump script work again on kernels and vmcores
  from before the workqueue attrs field rename.
