The "bit" value comes from "work->bit".  It is set to -1 if we cancel
the work in unwind_deferred_cancel().  It needs to be signed because
we check for negative values.  Change the type from unsigned long to int.

I'm fine with the change to bit, but please do not put them on the same

related.

Sure, I've sent a v2.
