3.16.42-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: David Matlack <dmatlack@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit b6416e61012429e0277bd15a229222fd17afc1c1 upstream.
Modules that use static_key_deferred need a way to synchronize with
any delayed work that is still pending when the module is unloaded.
Introduce static_key_deferred_flush() which flushes any pending
jump label updates.
