Farhan Ali d200f71cec vfio-ccw: Do not call flush_workqueue while holding the spinlock
[ Upstream commit cea5dde42a ]

Currently we call flush_workqueue while holding the subchannel
spinlock. But flush_workqueue function can go to sleep, so
do not call the function while holding the spinlock.

Fixes the following bug:

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
