If the dim work is still running here, what prevents it from completing
after the following unregister/free netdev?

It looks like you want need to call cancel_work_sync here?

Additionally the later remove_vq_common() will needless call
cancel_work() again; possibly is better to consolidate a single (sync)
call there.
