[PATCH 07/13] FS-Cache: Permit fscache_cancel_op() to cancel in-progress operations too

[David Howells]

Currently, fscache_cancel_op() only cancels pending operations - attempts to
cancel in-progress operations are ignored.  This leads to a problem in
fscache_wait_for_operation_activation() whereby the wait is terminated, but
the object has been killed.

The check at the end of the function now triggers because it's no longer
contingent on the cache having produced an I/O error since the commit that
fixed the logic error in fscache_object_is_dead().

The result of the check is that it tries to cancel the operation - but since
the object may not be pending by this point, the cancellation request may be
ignored - with the result that the the object is just put by the caller and
fscache_put_operation has an assertion failure because the operation isn't in
either the COMPLETE or the CANCELLED states.

To fix this, we permit in-progress ops to be cancelled under some
circumstances.

The bug results in an oops that looks something like this:

	FS-Cache: fscache_wait_for_operation_activation() = -ENOBUFS [obj dead 3]
	FS-Cache:
	FS-Cache: Assertion failed
	FS-Cache: 3 == 5 is false
	------------[ cut here ]------------
