Subject: Wireless regression in workqueue: use mod_delayed_work() instead of
 __cancel + queue

My Intel 6250 wireless card (iwldvm) can no longer associate with a 
WPA-Enterprise network (PEAP-MSCHAPv2).  To my surprise, I bisected this 
regression to commit e7c2f967445dd2041f0f8e3179cca22bb8bb7f79, 
workqueue: use mod_delayed_work() instead of __cancel + queue.

A bunch of logs collected by Ubuntu apport are in this bug report: 
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1083980

How can I help to debug this?

I see that someone else reported another regression with the same commit 
last week, although this looks unrelated at first glance:
