You move it up in Patch 5/11, I suggest to move it to the top of the
file here.

If there is no work it'll continue to loop every
WORKER_IDLE_TIMEOUT (5 * HZ), which sounds troublesome with many
workers in the system.

tm = is_fixed_worker(worker) ? MAX_SCHEDULE_TIMEOUT :  WORKER_IDLE_TIMEOUT;
schedule_timeout(tm);

Maybe?
