[PATCH v2] thermal: Fix deadlock in thermal thermal_zone_device_check

From: Wei Wang
Date: Tue Nov 12 2019 - 15:42:30 EST


commit [2] changed cancel_delayed_work to cancel_delayed_work_sync to
avoid a use-after-free issue. However, cancel_delayed_work_sync could be
called insides the WQ causing deadlock [1].
