We attempt to reschedule an active work which can itself corrupt the
workqueue lists, and we may then free the work item whilst the task is
still pending. Both of these may lead to a system deadlock and an
unresponsive machine without any outputs for a panic to even be shown.

I think this is still racy - we'd need to loop the flush work and
del_timer until they're both dead, otherwise it could get re-armed.
Probably better to convert this to a delayed_work and just use
cancel_delayed_work_sync.
