Ha! I was too lazy to write this down! So how about I make this a mutex 
and put mod_delayed_work() inside the lock. So it will be something like 
below

qcom_lmh_dcvs_notify()			qcom_cpufreq_hw_lmh_exit()

mutex_lock()				mutex_lock()
   if (data->cancel_throttle) {		cancel_throttle = true
	mutex_unlock()			mutex_unlock()
	return				cancel_delayed_work_sync()
   }					free_irq()
   enable_irq() / mod_delayed_work()
mutex_unlock()

I will let you break it!
