[PATCH v1 2/4] rust: add Work::disable_sync

From: Onur Özkan

Date: Mon Mar 09 2026 - 17:05:43 EST


Add Work::disable_sync() as a safe wrapper for disable_work_sync().

Drivers can use this during teardown to stop new queueing and wait for
queued or running work to finish before dropping related resources.
