So we're on the same page, the problem is that if padata's ->parallel() punts to a cryptd thread, flushing the parallel work will return immediately without necessarily indicating the parallel job is finished, so flushing is pointless and padata_replace needs to wait till the instance's refcount drops to 0. Did I get it right? Yeah you can never flush an async crypto job. You have to wait for it to finish.
