On suspend/resume cycle, selftest is executed to reset i8042 controller.
But when this is done in Asus devices, subsequent calls to detect/init
functions to elantech driver fails. Skipping selftest fixes this problem.
An easier step to reproduce this problem is adding i8042.reset=1 as a
kernel parameter. On Asus laptops, it'll make the system to start with the
touchpad already stuck, since psmouse_probe forcibly calls the selftest
function.

mapping->flags currently encodes two different things into a single flag.
It contains sticky gfp_mask for page cache allocations and AS_ codes used
to report errors/enospace and other states which are mapping specific.
Condensing the two semantically unrelated things saves few bytes but it
also complicates other things. For one thing the gfp flags space is
reduced and in fact we are already running out of available bits. It can
be assumed that more gfp flags will be necessary later on.
To not introduce the address_space grow (at least on x86_64) we can stick
it right after private_lock because we have a hole there.

This patch allows to make kthread worker freezable via a new @flags
parameter. It will allow to avoid an init work in some kthreads.
It currently does not affect the function of kthread_worker_fn()
but it might help to do some optimization or fixes eventually.
I currently do not know about any other use for the @flags
parameter but I believe that we will want more flags
in the future.
Finally, I hope that it will not cause confusion with @flags member
in struct kthread. Well, I guess that we will want to rework the
basic kthreads implementation once all kthreads are converted into
kthread workers or workqueues. It is possible that we will merge
the two structures.

There are situations when we need to modify the delay of a delayed kthread
work. For example, when the work depends on an event and the initial delay
means a timeout. Then we want to queue the work immediately when the event
happens.
This patch implements kthread_mod_delayed_work() as inspired workqueues.
It cancels the timer, removes the work from any worker list and queues it
again with the given timeout.
A very special case is when the work is being canceled at the same time.
It might happen because of the regular kthread_cancel_delayed_work_sync()
or by another kthread_mod_delayed_work(). In this case, we do nothing and
let the other operation win. This should not normally happen as the caller
is supposed to synchronize these operations a reasonable way.

We are going to use kthread workers more widely and sometimes we will need
to make sure that the work is neither pending nor running.
This patch implements cancel_*_sync() operations as inspired by
workqueues. Well, we are synchronized against the other operations via
the worker lock, we use del_timer_sync() and a counter to count parallel
cancel operations. Therefore the implementation might be easier.
First, we check if a worker is assigned. If not, the work has newer been
queued after it was initialized.
Second, we take the worker lock. It must be the right one. The work must
not be assigned to another worker unless it is initialized in between.
Third, we try to cancel the timer when it exists. The timer is deleted
synchronously to make sure that the timer call back is not running. We
need to temporary release the worker->lock to avoid a possible deadlock
with the callback. In the meantime, we set work->canceling counter to
avoid any queuing.
Fourth, we try to remove the work from a worker list. It might be
the list of either normal or delayed works.
Fifth, if the work is running, we call kthread_flush_work(). It might
take an arbitrary time. We need to release the worker-lock again. In the
meantime, we again block any queuing by the canceling counter.
As already mentioned, the check for a pending kthread work is done under a
lock. In compare with workqueues, we do not need to fight for a single
PENDING bit to block other operations. Therefore we do not suffer from
the thundering storm problem and all parallel canceling jobs might use
kthread_flush_work(). Any queuing is blocked until the counter gets zero.

We are going to use kthread_worker more widely and delayed works
will be pretty useful.
The implementation is inspired by workqueues. It uses a timer to queue
the work after the requested delay. If the delay is zero, the work is
queued immediately.
In compare with workqueues, each work is associated with a single worker
(kthread). Therefore the implementation could be much easier. In
particular, we use the worker->lock to synchronize all the operations with
the work. We do not need any atomic operation with a flags variable.
In fact, we do not need any state variable at all. Instead, we add a list
of delayed works into the worker. Then the pending work is listed either
in the list of queued or delayed works. And the existing check of pending
works is the same even for the delayed ones.
A work must not be assigned to another worker unless reinitialized.
Therefore the timer handler might expect that dwork->work->worker is valid
and it could simply take the lock. We just add some sanity checks to help
with debugging a potential misuse.

Nothing currently prevents a work from queuing for a kthread worker when
it is already running on another one. This means that the work might run
in parallel on more than one worker. Also some operations are not
reliable, e.g. flush.
This problem will be even more visible after we add kthread_cancel_work()
function. It will only have "work" as the parameter and will use
worker->lock to synchronize with others.
Well, normally this is not a problem because the API users are sane.
But bugs might happen and users also might be crazy.
This patch adds a warning when we try to insert the work for another
worker. It does not fully prevent the misuse because it would make the
code much more complicated without a big benefit.
It adds the same warning also into kthread_flush_work() instead of the
repeated attempts to get the right lock.
A side effect is that one needs to explicitly reinitialize the work if it
must be queued into another worker. This is needed, for example, when the
worker is stopped and started again. It is a bit inconvenient. But it
looks like a good compromise between the stability and complexity.
I have double checked all existing users of the kthread worker API and
they all seems to initialize the work after the worker gets started.
Just for completeness, the patch adds a check that the work is not already
in a queue.
The patch also puts all the checks into a separate function. It will be
reused when implementing delayed works.

The current kthread worker users call flush() and stop() explicitly.
This function does the same plus it frees the kthread_worker struct
in one call.
It is supposed to be used together with kthread_create_worker*() that
allocates struct kthread_worker.
