We have a gap where a worker removes an item from the work list and to when it gets added as the workers active work. In this state, the work item cannot be found by cancelations. This is a small window, but it does exist. Add a temporary pointer to a work item that isn't on the pending work list anymore, but also not the active work. This is needed as we need to drop the wqe lock in between grabbing the work item and marking it as active, to ensure that signal based cancelations are properly ordered.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
