For cancellation, we need to ensure that the work item stays valid for as long as ->cur_work is valid. Right now we can't safely dereference the work item even under the wqe->lock, because while the ->cur_work pointer will remain valid, the work could be completing and be freed in parallel. Only invoke ->get/put_work() on items we know that the caller queued themselves. Add IO_WQ_WORK_INTERNAL for io-wq to use, which is needed when we're queueing a flush item, for instance.

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.
