[RESEND PATCH v2] modules: wait do_free_init correctly

[Changbin Du]

The commit 1a7b7d922081 ("modules: Use vmalloc special flag") moves
do_free_init() into a global workqueue instead of call_rcu(). So now
rcu_barrier() can not ensure that do_free_init has completed. We should
wait it via flush_work().

Without this fix, we still could encounter false positive reports in
W+X checking, and rcu synchronization is unnecessary.
