From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx>
In some cases there might be longer-running hardware accesses
in debugfs files, or attempts to acquire locks, and we want
to still be able to quickly remove the files.
Introduce a cancellations API to use inside the debugfs handler
functions to be able to cancel such operations on a per-file
basis.
