We'd like to see some code which actually uses this new function
please.  Either in this patch or as one or more followup patches.

btw, we call it "function", not "func".  But neither is really needed -
just use () to identify a function.  ie:

: Add kthread_flush_delayed_work().  The principle of this is to wait for
: a dwork to finish executing the last queueing.
