Dan Williams e471486c13 acpi, nfit: fix acpi_nfit_flush_probe() crash
We queue an on-stack work item to 'nfit_wq' and wait for it to complete
as part of a 'flush_probe' request. However, if the user cancels the
wait we need to make sure the item is flushed from the queue otherwise
we are leaving an out-of-scope stack address on the work list.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
