Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=bfe28af78a2021cfa93f26634a9bbd3a56577745

--------------------------------

commit 34b3d534 upstream.

Patch series "kthread_worker: Fix race between kthread_mod_delayed_work()
and kthread_cancel_delayed_work_sync()".

This patchset fixes the race between kthread_mod_delayed_work() and
kthread_cancel_delayed_work_sync() including proper return value
handling.

This patch (of 2):

Simple code refactoring as a preparation step for fixing a race between
kthread_mod_delayed_work() and kthread_cancel_delayed_work_sync().

It does not modify the existing behavior.
