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 ] Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
