Subject: [PATCH 2/5] i915: flush gem obj freeing workqueues to add accuracy to the i915 shrinker

Waiting a RCU grace period only guarantees the work gets queued, but
until after the queued workqueue returns, there's no guarantee the
memory was actually freed. So flush the work to provide better
guarantees to the reclaim code in addition of waiting a RCU grace
period to pass.
