Right, but this allows to make schedule_xxx/flush_scheduled_work
inline and kill more EXPORT_SYMBOL's, and cmwq exports it anyway
(iirc it also renames it).

But then schedule_suspend_blocking_work() in turn needs EXPORT_SYMBOL().


OK. Let's forget this patch. We can unify schedule_suspend_blocking_work
and queue_suspend_blocking_work later, or Arve can add this export into
his patch (without EXPORT_SYMBOL) - either way I agree. This is very
minor issue, I regret I originated this almost offtopic noise ;)
