I'm not too sure about using the colored flushing system for this. Given
that the requirements are a lot simpler, I'd prefer keep it separate and
dumb rather than intertwining it with regular flushes. e.g. each wq can keep
the number of flush work items in flight and a simple wake up mechanism for
the task doing destroy_workqueue().

Thanks.
