del_timer_sync() buys nothing for cancel_delayed_work(), but it is less
efficient since it locks the timer unconditionally, and may wait for the
completion of the delayed_work_timer_fn().
cancel_delayed_work() == 0 means:
before this patch:
work->func may still be running or queued
after this patch:
work->func may still be running or queued, or
delayed_work_timer_fn->__queue_work() in progress.
The latter doesn't differ from the caller's POV,
delayed_work_timer_fn() is called with _PENDING
bit set.
cancel_delayed_work() == 1 with this patch adds a new possibility:
delayed_work->work was cancelled, but delayed_work_timer_fn
is still running (this is only possible for the re-arming
works on single-threaded workqueue).
In this case the timer was re-started by work->func(), nobody
else can do this. This in turn means that delayed_work_timer_fn
has already passed __queue_work() (and wont't touch delayed_work)
because nobody else can queue delayed_work->work.
