3.16.42-rc1 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.
