My patch removed that extra flush_workqueue in nbd_disconnect_and_put.

The idea of the patch was to move the flush calls to when we do
sock_shutdown in the config (connect, disconnect, clear sock) code
paths, because that is the time we know we will need to kill the recv
workers and wait for them to complete so we know they are not still
running when userspace does a new config operation.
