From: Petr Mladek <pmladek@suse.com>
Subject: kthread_worker: split code for canceling the delayed work timer
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.
