make cancel_xxx_work_sync() return a boolean

Change cancel_work_sync() and cancel_delayed_work_sync() to return a boolean
indicating whether the work was actually cancelled.  A zero return value means
that the work was not pending/queued.

Without that kind of change it is not possible to avoid flush_workqueue()
sometimes, see the next patch as an example.

Also, this patch unifies both functions and kills the (unlikely) busy-wait
loop.
