workqueue: reimplement cancel_delayed_work() using try_to_grab_pending()
cancel_delayed_work() can't be called from IRQ handlers due to its use
of del_timer_sync() and can't cancel work items which are already
transferred from timer to worklist.
Also, unlike other flush and cancel functions, a canceled delayed_work
would still point to the last associated cpu_workqueue. If the
workqueue is destroyed afterwards and the work item is re-used on a
different workqueue, the queueing code can oops trying to dereference
already freed cpu_workqueue.
This patch reimplements cancel_delayed_work() using
try_to_grab_pending() and set_work_cpu_and_clear_pending(). This
allows the function to be called from IRQ handlers and makes its
behavior consistent with other flush / cancel functions.
