[PATCH 1/9] cpufreq: governor: Simplify gov_cancel_work() slightly

From: Rafael J. Wysocki
Date: Sun Feb 14 2016 - 20:22:09 EST


From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@xxxxxxxxx>

The atomic work counter incrementation in gov_cancel_work() is not
necessary any more, because work items won't be queued up after
gov_clear_update_util() anyway, so drop it along with the comment
about how it may be missed by the gov_clear_update_util().
