Hmmm... the only thing which is a bit bothering is that after removing
the shutdown from release_workfn this would make the final flushing
sequential, one cgwb at a time, which in certain cases can take an
unnecessarily long time. It's not a correctness issue tho and if it
becomes a problem we can deal with it by splitting wb_shutdown() into
two pieces - the unregistration / issuing of the work items, and the
flushing of those. Other than that, looks good to me.

Thanks.
