ibm_newemac: Fix possible lockup on close It's a bad idea to call flush_scheduled_work from within a netdev->stop because the linkwatch will occasionally take the rtnl lock from a workqueue context, and thus that can deadlock. This reworks things a bit in that area to avoid the problem. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>
