workqueue: change cancel_work_sync() to clear work->data

In short: change cancel_work_sync(work) to mark this work as "never
queued" upon return.

When cancel_work_sync(work) succeeds, we know that this work can't be
queued or running, and since we own WORK_STRUCT_PENDING nobody can change
the bits in work->data under us. This means we can also clear the "cwq"
part along with _PENDING bit lockless before return, unless the work is
queued nobody can assume get_wq_data() is stable even under cwq->lock.

This change can speedup the subsequent cancel/flush requests, and as
Dmitry pointed out this simplifies the usage of work_struct's which
can be queued on different workqueues. Consider this pseudo code from
the input subsystem:

	struct workqueue_struct *WQ;
	struct work_struct *WORK;

	for (;;) {
		WQ = create_workqueue();
		...
		if (condition())
			queue_work(WQ, WORK);
		...
		cancel_work_sync(WORK);
		destroy_workqueue(WQ);
	}

If condition() returns T and then F, cancel_work_sync() will crash the
kernel because WORK->data still points to the already destroyed workqueue.
With this patch the code like above becomes correct.
