The function padata_flush_queues is fundamentally broken because
it cannot force padata users to complete the request that is
underway. IOW padata has to passively wait for the completion
of any outstanding work.
As it stands flushing is used in two places. Its use in padata_stop
is simply unnecessary because nothing depends on the queues to
be flushed afterwards.
The other use in padata_replace is more substantial as we depend
on it to free the old pd structure. This patch instead uses the
pd->refcnt to dynamically free the pd structure once all requests
are complete.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
