------------------------------------------------------
Subject: make cancel_rearming_delayed_work() work on any workqueue, not just keventd_wq
From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru>

cancel_rearming_delayed_workqueue(wq, dwork) doesn't need the first
parameter.  We don't hang on un-queued dwork any longer, and work->data
doesn't change its type.  This means we can always figure out "wq" from
dwork when it is needed.

Remove this parameter, and rename the function to
cancel_rearming_delayed_work().  Re-create an inline "obsolete"
cancel_rearming_delayed_workqueue(wq) which just calls
cancel_rearming_delayed_work().
