MattB reported a lockdep splat in the mptcp listener code cleanup:

 WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected
 packetdrill/14278 is trying to acquire lock:
 ffff888017d868f0 ((work_completion)(&msk->work)){+.+.}-{0:0}, at: __flush_work (kernel/workqueue.c:3069)

 but task is already holding lock:
 ffff888017d84130 (sk_lock-AF_INET){+.+.}-{0:0}, at: mptcp_close (net/mptcp/protocol.c:2973)

 which lock already depends on the new lock.

 the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

 other info that might help us debug this:

  Possible unsafe locking scenario:

        CPU0                    CPU1
        ----                    ----
   lock(sk_lock-AF_INET);
                                lock((work_completion)(&msk->work));
                                lock(sk_lock-AF_INET);
   lock((work_completion)(&msk->work));

  *** DEADLOCK ***

The report is actually a false positive, since the only existing lock
nesting is the msk socket lock acquired by the mptcp work.
cancel_work_sync() is invoked without the relevant socket lock being
held, but under a different (the msk listener) socket lock.

We could silence the splat adding a per workqueue dynamic lockdep key,
but that looks overkill. Instead just tell lockdep the msk socket lock
is not held around cancel_work_sync().
