KVM: fix OOPS on flush_work
The conversion done by commit 3706feacd007 ("KVM: Remove deprecated create_singlethread_workqueue") is broken. It flushes a single work item &irqfd->shutdown instead of all of them, and even worse if there is no irqfd on the list then you get a NULL pointer dereference. Revert the virt/kvm/eventfd.c part of that patch; to avoid the deprecated function, just allocate our own workqueue---it does not even have to be unbound---with alloc_workqueue. Fixes: 3706feacd007 Reviewed-by: Cornelia Huck <cornelia.huck@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
