From: Sagi Grimberg sagi@grimberg.me
[ Upstream commit 86f46aba8d1ac3ed0904542158a9b9cb9c7a143c ]
We need to make sure that the cq work item does not run when we are destroying the cq. Unlike flush_work, cancel_work_sync protects against self-requeue of the work item (which we can do in ib_cq_poll_work).
