While attempting to clear the buzy bit at the end of a work execution, atomic_cmpxchg() expects the value of the flags with the pending bit cleared as the old value. However we are passing by mistake the value of the flags before we actually cleared the pending bit.
Busy is spelled with an S
As a result, clearing the buzy bit fails and irq_work_sync() may stall:

Without this patch switching cpufreq governors hangs on arm64.
Right.
This patch solved two problems, 1) juno-r2 boot pass now 2) rcu_sched self-detected stall on CPU on x86_64 problem is solved now.

Hope this will get merged into linux next.
