[PATCH 3.2 14/87] EDAC: Robustify workqueues destruction

[Ben Hutchings]

3.2.77-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Borislav Petkov <bp@xxxxxxx>

commit fcd5c4dd8201595d4c598c9cca5e54760277d687 upstream.

EDAC workqueue destruction is really fragile. We cancel delayed work
but if it is still running and requeues itself, we still go ahead and
destroy the workqueue and the queued work explodes when workqueue core
attempts to run it.

Make the destruction more robust by switching op_state to offline so
that requeuing stops. Cancel any pending work *synchronously* too.
