From: Uladzislau Rezki <urezki@xxxxxxxxx> call_rcu() changes to save power will slow down RCU workqueue items queued via queue_rcu_work(). This may not be an issue, however we cannot assume that workqueue users are OK with long delays. Use call_rcu_flush() API instead which reverts to the old behavior.
