3.11.10.14 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini at redhat.com>

commit cdda0e5acbb78f7b777049f8c27899e5c5bb368f upstream.

Calling the workqueue interface on uninitialized work items isn't a
good idea even if they're zeroed. It's not failing catastrophically only
through happy accidents.
