[PATCH 3/5] AF_RXRPC: Make it possible to merely try to cancel timersand delayed work [try #2]

From: David Howells
Date: Fri Mar 16 2007 - 08:52:32 EST


Export try_to_del_timer_sync() for use by the RxRPC module.

Add a try_to_cancel_delayed_work() so that it is possible to merely attempt to
cancel a delayed work timer.
