CVE-2024-46704

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

workqueue: Fix spruious data race in __flush_work()

When flushing a work item for cancellation, __flush_work() knows that it
exclusively owns the work item through its PENDING bit. 134874e2eee9
("workqueue: Allow cancel_work_sync() and disable_work() from atomic
contexts on BH work items") added a read of @work->data to determine whether
to use busy wait for BH work items that are being canceled. While the read
is safe when @from_cancel, @work->data was read before testing @from_cancel
to simplify code structure:

	data = *work_data_bits(work);
	if (from_cancel &&
	    !WARN_ON_ONCE(data & WORK_STRUCT_PWQ) && (data & WORK_OFFQ_BH)) {

While the read data was never used if !@from_cancel, this could trigger
KCSAN data race detection spuriously:

  ==================================================================
  BUG: KCSAN: data-race in __flush_work / __flush_work

  write to 0xffff8881223aa3e8 of 8 bytes by task 3998 on cpu 0:

   flush_work kernel/workqueue.c:4229 [inline]
   flush_delayed_work+0x66/0x70 kernel/workqueue.c:4251
   ...

  value changed: 0x0000000000400000 -> 0xffff88810006c00d

Reorganize the code so that @from_cancel is tested before @work->data is
accessed. The only problem is triggering KCSAN detection spuriously. This
shouldn't need READ_ONCE() or other access qualifiers.
