Commit935fcc56ab("dm mpath: only flush workqueue when needed") changed flush_multipath_work() to avoid needless workqueue flushing (of a multipath global workqueue). But that change didn't realize the surrounding flush_multipath_work() code should also only run if 'pg_init_in_progress' is set. Fix this by only doing all of flush_multipath_work()'s PG init related work if 'pg_init_in_progress' is set. Otherwise multipath_wait_for_pg_init_completion() will run unconditionally but the preceeding flush_workqueue(kmpath_handlerd) may not. This could lead to deadlock (though only if kmpath_handlerd never runs a corresponding work to decrement 'pg_init_in_progress'). It could also be, though highly unlikely, that the kmpath_handlerd work that does PG init completes before 'pg_init_in_progress' is set, and then an intervening DM table reload's multipath_postsuspend() triggers flush_multipath_work().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
