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?
