Heavy contention of the sde flushlist_lock can cause hard lockups at
extreme scale when the flushing logic is under stress.

Mitigate by replacing the item at a time copy to the local list with
an O(1) list_splice_init() and using the high priority work queue to
do the flushes.

Ported to linux-4.9.y.

I've queued this one for 4.9 and 4.4, thank you.
