workqueue: make cancel_rearming_delayed_workqueue() work on idle dwork

cancel_rearming_delayed_workqueue(dwork) will hang forever if dwork was not
scheduled, because in that case cancel_delayed_work()->del_timer_sync() never
returns true.

I don't know if there are any callers which may have problems, but this is not
so convenient, and the fix is very simple.

Q: looks like we don't need "struct workqueue_struct *wq" parameter.  If the
timer was aborted successfully, get_wq_data() == wq.  Is it worth to add the
new function?
