Wait actually, that isn't a concern. The flush_workqueue() was new in
commit b22cfcfca, before that drivers couldn't rely on it. It seems very
unlikely that in the meantime drivers have come to rely on it and we
didn't document this, so ... with the proposed change to sta_free_wk we
should be fine.
