Wait, what are you relying on here for the delay?  What happens when
processors get faster and that work queue gets run even sooner than
today?  You are relying on the scheduler to introduce a "delay" here and
you can't rely on that at all.

Instead, use a proper timer as you do know how long you need to wait,
right?  Don't abuse workqueues for something they were not designed for.
