[ Upstream commit fb48febce7e30baed94dd791e19521abd2c3fd83 ]
When the watchdog detects a disk change, it calls cancel_activity(), which in turn tries to cancel the fd_timer delayed work.
In the above scenario, fd_timer_fn is set to fd_watchdog(), meaning it is trying to cancel its own work. This results in a hang as cancel_delayed_work_sync() is waiting for the watchdog (itself) to return, which never happens.
This can be reproduced relatively consistently by attempting to read a broken floppy, and ejecting it while IO is being attempted and retried.
To resolve this, this patch calls cancel_delayed_work() instead, which cancels the work without waiting for the watchdog to return and finish.
Before this regression was introduced, the code in this section used del_timer(), and not del_timer_sync() to delete the watchdog timer.
