All the NFS and SUNRPC cases appear to be trivial. IOW: the only reason for the flush_workqueue()/flush_scheduled_work() calls was to ensure that the cancel_work()/cancel_delayed_work() calls preceding them have completed. Nevertheless I've split the conversion into two patches, since one touches only the NFS code, whereas the other touches the SUNRPC client and server code. The two patches have been tested, and appear to work...
