kthread: allow to modify delayed kthread work

Browse Source 
There are situations when we need to modify the delay of a delayed kthread
work. For example, when the work depends on an event and the initial delay
means a timeout. Then we want to queue the work immediately when the event
happens.

This patch implements kthread_mod_delayed_work() as inspired workqueues.
It cancels the timer, removes the work from any worker list and queues it
again with the given timeout.

A very special case is when the work is being canceled at the same time.
It might happen because of the regular kthread_cancel_delayed_work_sync()
or by another kthread_mod_delayed_work(). In this case, we do nothing and
let the other operation win. This should not normally happen as the caller
is supposed to synchronize these operations a reasonable way.

/**
* kthread_mod_delayed_work - modify delay of or queue a kthread delayed work
* @worker: kthread worker to use
* @dwork: kthread delayed work to queue
* @delay: number of jiffies to wait before queuing
*
* If @dwork is idle, equivalent to kthread_queue_delayed_work(). Otherwise,
* modify @dwork's timer so that it expires after @delay. If @delay is zero,
* @work is guaranteed to be queued immediately.
*
* Return: %true if @dwork was pending and its timer was modified,
* %false otherwise.
*
* A special case is when the work is being canceled in parallel.
* It might be caused either by the real kthread_cancel_delayed_work_sync()
* or yet another kthread_mod_delayed_work() call. We let the other command
* win and return %false here. The caller is supposed to synchronize these
* operations a reasonable way.
*
* This function is safe to call from any context including IRQ handler.
* See __kthread_cancel_work() and kthread_delayed_work_timer_fn()
* for details.
