Right, I did actually consider that yesterday and why I replied with the
fuse callback needing to do it, but then forgot... Since we can't do a
generic cleanup callback, it'll have to be done in the handler.

I do like making this generic and not needing individual task_work
handlers like this checking for some magic, so I like the flag addition.
