Subject: [PATCH 4.9 02/60] acpi, nfit: fix acpi_nfit_flush_probe() crash

4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@...el.com>

commit e471486c13b82b1338d49c798f78bb62b1ed0a9e upstream.

We queue an on-stack work item to 'nfit_wq' and wait for it to complete
as part of a 'flush_probe' request. However, if the user cancels the
wait we need to make sure the item is flushed from the queue otherwise
we are leaving an out-of-scope stack address on the work list.
