There is no need for one session to flush the entire iscsi_eh_timer_workq when removing/unblocking a session. During removal we need to make sure our works are not running anymore. And iscsi_unblock_session only needs to make sure it's work is done. The unblock work function will flush/cancel the works it has conflicts with.
