Hello, Linus.

So, safe fixes my ass.  8852aac ("workqueue: mod_delayed_work_on()
shouldn't queue timer on 0 delay") had the side-effect of performing
delayed_work sanity checks even when @delay is 0, which should be fine
for any sane use cases.

Unfortunately, megaraid was being overly ingenious.  It seemingly
wanted to use cancel_delayed_work_sync() before cancel_work_sync() was
introduced, but didn't want to waste the space for full delayed_work
as it was only gonna use 0 @delay.  So, it only allocated space for
struct work_struct and then casted it to struct delayed_work and
passed it into delayed_work functions - truly awesome engineering
tradeoff to save some bytes.

Xiaotian fixed it by making megraid allocate full delayed_work for
now.  It should be converted to use work_struct and cancel_work_sync()
but I think we better do that after 3.7.

I added another commit to change BUG_ON()s in __queue_delayed_work()
to WARN_ON_ONCE()s so that the kernel doens't crash even if there are
more such abuses.

Please pull from the following branch to receive the two patches.
