[WORKQUEUE]: cancel_delayed_work: use del_timer() instead of del_timer_sync()
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.
