IPoIB: Fix deadlock on RTNL in ipoib_stop()
Commit c8c2afe3 ("IPoIB: Use rtnl lock/unlock when changing device
flags") added a call to rtnl_lock() in ipoib_mcast_join_task(), which
is run from the ipoib_workqueue. However, ipoib_stop() (which is run
inside rtnl_lock()) flushes this workqueue, which leads to a deadlock
if the join task is pending.
Fix this by simply not flushing the workqueue from ipoib_stop(). It
turns out that we really don't care about workqueue tasks running
during or after ipoib_stop(), as long as we make sure to flush the
workqueue before unregistering a netdev.
This fixes <https://bugs.openfabrics.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1114>.
