Maybe we should check which schedule_work users actually lock the rtnl within the work function and move them to a uses-rtnl-in-work workqueue so that everybody else can have rtnl around flush.
The issue is that linkwatch goes: workqueue lock --> RTNL And thus taking workqueue lock within RTNL is deadlock prone no matter where you do it.
