If the user sets the iscsi_eh_timer_workq/iscsi_eh workqueue's max_active to greater than 1, the recovery_work could be running when __iscsi_unblock_session runs. The cancel_delayed_work will then not wait for the running work and we can race where we end up with the wrong session state and scsi_device state set. This replaces the cancel_delayed_work with the sync version.
