Subject: [PATCH 10/25] kprobes: fix wait_for_kprobe_optimizer()

wait_for_kprobe_optimizer() seems largely broken.  It uses
optimizer_comp which is never re-initialized, so
wait_for_kprobe_optimizer() will never wait for anything once
kprobe_optimizer() finishes all pending jobs for the first time.

Also, aside from completion, delayed_work_pending() is %false once
kprobe_optimizer() starts execution and wait_for_kprobe_optimizer()
won't wait for it.

Reimplement it so that it flushes optimizing_work until
[un]optimizing_lists are empty.  Note that this also makes
optimizing_work execute immediately if someone's waiting for it, which
is the nicer behavior.

Only compile tested.

Please let me know how this patch should be routed.  I can take it
through the workqueue tree if necessary.

Thanks.
