An issue was found with this patch: we don't cancel
kvp_host_handshake_work on module unload and if the work is still
pending we end up crashing. As far as I can see this series didn't make
it to char-misc tree so instead of sending a patch to this patch I'll
send v2 for the original issue.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
