Subject: drm/dp/mst: drop cancel work sync in the mstb destroy path (v2)

From: Dave Airlie <[email protected]>

commit 274d83524895fe41ca8debae4eec60ede7252bb5 upstream.

Since 9eb1e57f564d4e6e10991402726cc83fe0b9172f drm/dp/mst: make sure mst_primary mstb is valid in work function

we validate the mstb structs in the work function, and doing that takes a reference. So we should never get here with the work function running using the mstb device, only if the work function hasn't run yet or is running for another mstb.

So we don't need to sync the work here, this was causing lockdep spew as below.
