No, we don't have to flush -- that's the reason of the refcount :)
The qbuf_work won't do anything if all the buffers are returned
by the driver (with error or done state), and if !streaming.

Also, note that's why qbuf_work checks for the queued state, and not
for the error state.

Like I said above, I'm trying to avoid cancel/flushing the workqueue.
Currently, I believe it works fine without any flushing, provided we refcount
the buffers.

The problem with cancelling the workqueue, is that you need to unlock the queue
lock, to avoid a deadlock. It seemed to me that having a refcount is more natural.

Thoughts?
