Yeah, this is the right thing to do. It makes no sense at all to call
flush_workqueue() on the shared workqueues as the caller has no idea what
it's gonna end up waiting for. It was on my todo list a long while ago but
slipped through the crack. If anyone wanna take a stab at it (including
scrubbing the existing users, of course), please be my guest.

Thanks.
