This comment is not needed. The name of the functions you are calling have
"cancel" and "work" in them so we know. If you want to add a comment explain
why the cancel calls are needed here.

How do you know after you have called cancel_delayed_work_sync that
schedule_recovery_handler or schedule_hw_err_handler can't be called?
I don't know the qed driver well, but it looks like you could have
operations still running, so after you cancel here one of those ops
could lead to them scheduling the work again.
