When processing an AFU asynchronous interrupt, if the action results in an
operation that requires off level processing (a link reset for example),
the worker thread is scheduled. In the meantime a reset event (i.e.: EEH)
could unmap the AFU to recover. This results in an Oops when the worker
thread tries to access the AFU mapping.

In an effort to avoid this, a mapcount was introduced in
commit b45cdbaf9f ("cxlflash: Resolve oops in wait_port_offline")
but due to the race condition described above, this solution is incomplete.
In order to fully resolve this problem and to simplify things, this commit
removes the mapcount solution. Instead, the scheduled worker thread is
cancelled after interrupts have been disabled and prior to the mapping
being freed.
