It looks like it does, but I'm not sure it's not more or less by
accident. Look at get_work_pool() for example, it might actually return
non-NULL in this case, and then in start_flush_work() you'll probably
fall into one of the few "already_gone" cases.

I guess it's not really guaranteed, the API doesn't state anything to
that effect. Not that I'm looking forward to a new workqueue rewrite ;)
