make cancel_xxx_work_sync() return a boolean
Change cancel_work_sync() and cancel_delayed_work_sync() to return a boolean indicating whether the work was actually cancelled. A zero return value means that the work was not pending/queued. Without that kind of change it is not possible to avoid flush_workqueue() sometimes, see the next patch as an example. Also, this patch unifies both functions and kills the (unlikely) busy-wait loop.
