[PATCH 09/10] IPoIB: Don't flush workqueue from within workqueue

Subject: [PATCH] IPoIB: Don't flush workqueue from within workqueue

ipoib_mcast_restart_task() is always called from within the
single-threaded IPoIB workqueue, so flushing the workqueue from within
the function can lead to a recursion overflow. But since we're
running in a single-threaded workqueue, we're already synchronized
against other items in the workqueue, so just get rid of the flush in
ipoib_mcast_restart_task().
