Yes, of course, I meant cancel_work_sync(), sorry for the confusion.

Thanks!

So, once again, cancel_work_sync(&dwork->work) is wrong unless the timer
was stopped.

Before make-cancel_rearming_delayed_work-reliable.patch

	it requires that the @work can't be re-queued.

After
	works, but waits for the timer expiration in a busy-wait loop.
