Subject: [PATCH 4.9 045/104] IB/core: Protect against self-requeue of a cq work item

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

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

From: Sagi Grimberg <sagi@...mberg.me>


[ Upstream commit 86f46aba8d1ac3ed0904542158a9b9cb9c7a143c ]

We need to make sure that the cq work item does not
run when we are destroying the cq. Unlike flush_work,
cancel_work_sync protects against self-requeue of the
work item (which we can do in ib_cq_poll_work).
