[PATCH] modules: wait do_free_init correctly

From: Changbin Du
Date: Tue Dec 19 2023 - 09:13:58 EST


The commit 1a7b7d922081 ("modules: Use vmalloc special flag") moves
do_free_init() into a global workqueue instead of call_rcu(). So now
we should wait it via flush_work().

Fixes: 1a7b7d922081 ("modules: Use vmalloc special flag")
