So, the intention is to just let people use system_wq.  We no longer
have single system-wide workqueue and we don't wanna add different
variants matching each system wq.  schedule_work() and friends were
already there so I'm leaving those alone but I don't really want to
add another set of rather meaningless wrappers.  Please just use
system_wq with mode_delayed_work*().

Thanks.
