If sync_erase() failes with EINTR, ENOMEM, EAGAIN or
EBUSY erase_worker() re-schedules the failed work.
This will lead to a deadlock because erase_worker() is called
with work_sem held in read mode. And schedule_erase() will take
this lock again.
Fix this issue by adding a locked flag to schedule_erase(),
it indicates whether the caller owns work_sem already.
