workqueue: add 'flush_delayed_work()' to run and wait for delayed work
It basically turns a delayed work into an immediate work, and then waits
for it to finish, thus allowing you to force (and wait for) an immediate
flush of a delayed work.
We'll want to use this in the tty layer to clean up tty_flush_to_ldisc().
Acked-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com>
[ Fixed to use 'del_timer_sync()' as noted by Oleg ]
