Subject: [PATCH 4.19 69/99] block: pass no-op callback to INIT_WORK().

[ Upstream commit 2e3c18d0ada16f145087b2687afcad1748c0827c ]

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.
