> 
> We used to pass a flush variable to mcast_stop_thread to indicate if we
> should flush the workqueue or not.  This was due to some code trying to
> flush a workqueue that it was currently running on which is a no-no.
> Now that we have per-device work queues, and now that
> ipoib_mcast_restart_task has taken the fact that it is queued on a
> single thread workqueue with all of the ipoib_mcast_join_task's and
> therefore has no need to stop the join task while it runs, we can do
> away with the flush parameter and unilaterally flush always.
