Modules that use static_key_deferred need a way to synchronize with
any delayed work that is still pending when the module is unloaded.
Introduce static_key_deferred_flush() which flushes any pending
jump label updates.

Makes sense I suppose.

It also appears I forgot to provide new style APIs for this
functionality as I completely forgot about it for it lives in its own
file :-/

In any case,

Thanks, I'll merge these through the KVM tree.
