Agree with the theory of the patch as such.. But, Is there any specific reason for
the !work_busy() check here ?

I believe when the later work runs, it will anyway bail out in _activate
function, if it sees PSR_ENABLE bit set already. So, is this check just to
prevent scheduling one more work item when there is one pending
already ? (or it helps in something else also ?)

Thanks,
Durga
