[WORKQUEUE]: cancel_delayed_work: use del_timer() instead of del_timer_sync()

del_timer_sync() buys nothing for cancel_delayed_work(), but it is less
efficient since it locks the timer unconditionally, and may wait for the
completion of the delayed_work_timer_fn().

cancel_delayed_work() == 0 means:

before this patch:
work->func may still be running or queued

after this patch:
work->func may still be running or queued, or
delayed_work_timer_fn->__queue_work() in progress.

The latter doesn't differ from the caller's POV,
delayed_work_timer_fn() is called with _PENDING
bit set.

cancel_delayed_work() == 1 with this patch adds a new possibility:

delayed_work->work was cancelled, but delayed_work_timer_fn
is still running (this is only possible for the re-arming
works on single-threaded workqueue).

In this case the timer was re-started by work->func(), nobody
else can do this. This in turn means that delayed_work_timer_fn
has already passed __queue_work() (and wont't touch delayed_work)
because nobody else can queue delayed_work->work.

more readable, and presumably marginally faster.

[PPPOE]: Fix device tear-down notification.

pppoe_flush_dev() kicks all sockets bound to a device that is going down.
In doing so, locks must be taken in the right order consistently (sock lock,
followed by the pppoe_hash_lock).  However, the scan process is based on
us holding the sock lock.  So, when something is found in the scan we must
release the lock we're holding and grab the sock lock.

This patch fixes race conditions between this code and pppoe_release(),
both of which perform similar functions but would naturally prefer to grab
locks in opposing orders.  Both code paths are now going after these locks
in a consistent manner.

pppoe_hash_lock protects the contents of the "pppox_sock" objects that reside
inside the hash.  Thus, NULL'ing out the pppoe_dev field should be done
under the protection of this lock.

connect() would determine that an interface is up, then the interface
could go down and all entries referring to that interface in the
item_hash_table would be marked as ZOMBIEs and their references to
the device would be freed, and after that, connect() would put a new
entry into the hash table referring to the device that meanwhile is
down already - which also would cause unregister_netdevice() to wait
until the socket has been release()d.

This patch does not suffice if we are not allowed to accept connect()s
referring to a device that we already acked a NETDEV_GOING_DOWN for
(that is: all references are only guaranteed to be freed after
NETDEV_DOWN has been acknowledged, not necessarily after the
NETDEV_GOING_DOWN already). And if we are allowed to, we could avoid
looking through the hash table upon NETDEV_GOING_DOWN completely and
only do that once we get the NETDEV_DOWN ...

mostrows:
pppoe_flush_dev is called on NETDEV_GOING_DOWN and NETDEV_DOWN to deal with
this "late connect" issue.  Ideally one would hope to notify users at the
"NETDEV_GOING_DOWN" phase (just to pretend to be nice).  However, it is the
NETDEV_DOWN scan that takes all the responsibility for ensuring nobody is

Although this case may not sound likely, it can be reproduced by connecting,

nofeedback timer halves the sending rate until finally it reaches the region

dividing X _before_ entering the calculation of t_ipi, X becomes zero as
a result.  This in turn triggers a BUG condition caught in scaled_div().

Fixed by replacing with equivalent statement and explicit typecast for good
measure.
