4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: David Matlack <dmatlack@xxxxxxxxxx> commit cef84c302fe051744b983a92764d3fcca933415d upstream. KVM's lapic emulation uses static_key_deferred (apic_{hw,sw}_disabled). These are implemented with delayed_work structs which can still be pending when the KVM module is unloaded. We've seen this cause kernel panics when the kvm_intel module is quickly reloaded. Use the new static_key_deferred_flush() API to flush pending updates on module unload.
