Subject: Re: WARNING in __flush_work

Subject: [PATCH] block: pass no-op callback to INIT_WORK().

syzbot is hitting flush_work() warning caused by commit 4d43d395fed12463
("workqueue: Try to catch flush_work() without INIT_WORK().") [1].
Although that commit did not expect INIT_WORK(NULL) case, calling
flush_work() without setting a valid callback should be avoided anyway.
Fix this problem by setting a no-op callback instead of NULL.
