From: Yuval Basson <ybason@xxxxxxxxxxx> commit 3b85720d3fd72e6ef4de252cd2f67548eb645eb4 upstream. Calling queue_delayed_work concurrently with destroy_workqueue might race to an unexpected outcome - scheduled task after wq is destroyed or other resources (like ptt_pool) are freed (yields NULL pointer dereference). cancel_delayed_work prevents the race by cancelling the timer triggered for scheduling a new task.
