Subject: [RFC 1/1] workqueue: Add mod_delayed_work()

mod_delayed_work() updates a timer if the work is pending otherwise calls
queue_delayed_work_on() to queue the work with the specified delay.

Call cancel_delayed_work_sync() and then queue_delayed_work() again to
change a timer's delays is too expensive (and requires process context).
Istead we call mod_delayed_work() to only modify the timer's timeout.
