If the worker thread is not woken due to a bio, then it is not woken at
all. This causes the hung task check to trigger. For instance, when a
delay of 0 is configured, delay_bio() returns without waking the worker,
so this situation occurs.
Prevent the hung task check from triggering by waking up the newly
minted worker in delay_ctr().
