[ Upstream commit 69ef9bc54715fb1cb7786ada15774e469e822209 ]
On module unload/remove, we need to ensure that work does not run
after we have freed resources. Concretely, cancel_delayed_work()
may return while the callback function is still running.
>From kernel/workqueue.c:
The work callback function may still be running on return,
unless it returns true and the work doesn't re-arm itself.
Explicitly flush or use cancel_delayed_work_sync() to wait on it.
