Thanks for the reminder, I've pinged folks to get someone working on
this. We do schedule quite a bunch of work, so it's not immediately
obvious (at least to me) what exactly needs flushing.

Removed by commit 7d33fd02dd94 ("drm/i915/selftests: Remove
flush_scheduled_work() from live_execlists") in drm-next.
