Subject: [PATCH] genirq: don't use flush_scheduled_work() in IRQ affinity
 notifiers

cd7eab44e9 (genirq: Add IRQ affinity notifiers) added use of
flush_scheduled_work() which is being deprecated.  Add a dedicated
workqueue and flush it instead of flushing system-wide workqueue.

I'm planning on marking flush_scheduled_work() deprecated in
linux-next soonish.  It would be great if this patch (or something
else which removes flush_scheduled_work() call somehow) can be
included in linux-next.

Thanks.
