On module unload/remove, we need to ensure that work does not run
after we have freed resources. Concretely, cancel_delayed_work()
may return while the callback function is still running.
From kernel/workqueue.c:
The work callback function may still be running on return,
unless it returns true and the work doesn't re-arm itself.
Explicitly flush or use cancel_delayed_work_sync() to wait on it.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
