No, it is right. We need the two 'locks'.

The work one is for flush_work(), the workqueue one is for
flush_workqueue().

Just like how flush_work() must not depend on any lock taken inside the
work, flush_workqueue() callers must not hold any lock acquired inside
any work ran inside the workqueue. This cannot be done with a single
'lock'.

The reason flush_work() also depends on the wq 'lock' is because doing
flush_work() from inside work is a possible problem for single threaded
workqueues and workqueues with a rescuer.

Not wrong per-se, the new code certainly places more constraints on it.
