struct host_notify contains its own workqueue, so there is a race when
the adapter gets removed:
- the adapter schedules a notification
- the notification is on hold
- the adapter gets removed and all its children too
- the worker fires and access illegal memory
Add an API to actually kill the workqueue and prevent it to access such
illegal memory. I couldn't find a reliable way of automatically calling
this, so it's the responsibility of the adapter driver to clean up after
itself.
