Jens Axboe 0160950297 SLOW_WORK: Add support for cancellation of slow work
Add support for cancellation of queued slow work and delayed slow work items.
The cancellation functions will wait for items that are pending or undergoing
execution to be discarded by the slow work facility.

Attempting to enqueue work that is in the process of being cancelled will
result in ECANCELED.

Jens Axboe 4d8bb2cbcc SLOW_WORK: Make slow_work_ops ->get_ref/->put_ref optional
Make the ability for the slow-work facility to take references on a work item
optional as not everyone requires this.

Even the internal slow-work stubs them out, so those can be got rid of too.

David Howells 3d7a641e54 SLOW_WORK: Wait for outstanding work items belonging to a module to clear
Wait for outstanding slow work items belonging to a module to clear when
unregistering that module as a user of the facility.  This prevents the put_ref
code of a work item from being taken away before it returns.
