5.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Frederic Weisbecker <frederic@xxxxxxxxxx> commit f409530e4db9dd11b88cb7703c97c8f326ff6566 upstream. Re-introduce task_work_cancel(), this time to cancel an actual callback and not *any* callback pointing to a given function. This is going to be needed for perf events event freeing.
