Subject: [PATCH v2 2/3] venus: core: cancel pending work items in workqueue

In concurrency usecase and reboot scenario we are
observing race condition and seeing NULL pointer
dereference crash. In shutdown path and system
recovery path we are destroying the same mutex
hence seeing crash.

This case is handled by mutex protection and
cancel delayed work items in work queue.

Below is the call trace for the crash
