Subject: [PATCH 4.14 097/164] nfit, address-range-scrub: fix scrub in-progress reporting

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

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

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

commit 78727137fdf49edf9f731bde79d7189067b4047a upstream.

There is a small window whereby ARS scan requests can schedule work that
userspace will miss when polling scrub_show. Hold the init_mutex lock
over calls to report the status to close this potential escape. Also,
make sure that requests to cancel the ARS workqueue are treated as an
idle event.
