[PATCH] re-export cancel_rearming_delayed_workqueue

[James Bottomley]

This was unexported by Arjan because we have no current users.

However, during a conversion from tasklets to workqueues of the parisc
led functions, we ran across a case where this was needed.  In
particular, the open coded equivalent of
cancel_rearming_delayed_workqueue was implemented incorrectly, which is,
I think, all the evidence necessary that this is a useful API.
