Looks like accounting for every schedule_work() and friends that we have
is pretty difficult at this point, so I agree going for a local
workqueue and flushing that is probably the way to go. Work specific
cleanups can follow.

However, we really don't want to add new module globals, not for this,
not for anything. So for most things it would have to be i915 device
specific. And that, in turn, would have to be two workqueues, one for
display, one for other stuff. Don't want to mix the two.

BR,
Jani.
