The handling of notify->work did not properly maintain notify->kref in two
cases:
1) where the work was already scheduled, another irq_set_affinity_locked()
would get the ref and (no-op-ly) schedule the work. Thus when
irq_affinity_notify() ran, it would drop the original ref but not the
additional one.
2) when cancelling the (old) work in irq_set_affinity_notifier(), if there
was outstanding work a ref had been got for it but was never put.
Fix both by checking the return values of the work handling functions
(schedule_work() for (1) and cancel_work_sync() for (2)) and put the
extra ref if the return value indicates preexisting work.

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.
