Ugh, this makes the code even more head-spinning than it was.

I don't see where the mutex gets locked when called via 
pcpu_map_extend_workfn? (except via the new cancel_work_sync() call below?)

Also what protects chunks with scheduled work items from being removed?

BTW I noticed that
	bool is_atomic = (gfp & GFP_KERNEL) != GFP_KERNEL;

this is too pessimistic IMHO. Reclaim is possible even without __GFP_FS 
and __GFP_IO. Could you just use gfpflags_allow_blocking(gfp) here?

This deserves some comment?
