There is a small race window when a delayed work is being canceled and
the work still might be queued from the timer_fn:
CPU0 CPU1
kthread_cancel_delayed_work_sync()
__kthread_cancel_work_sync()
__kthread_cancel_work()
work->canceling++;
kthread_delayed_work_timer_fn()
kthread_insert_work();
BUG: kthread_insert_work() should not get called when work->canceling
is set.
