yes, I think we may want to explicitly cancel this workq.. this
in rds_conn_destroy().
I'm trying to build/sanity-test (if lucky, reproduce the bug)
as I send this out.. let me get back to you..
If I have a patch against net-next, would you be willing/able to
try it out? given that this does not show up on demand, I'm not
sure how we can check that "the fix worked"..
