Even i thought the same initially but got these wrappers so that any updates
to workqueue used in schedule_work later on would simply work here as the
commiter would fix these too but fixing user drivers can be tricky.

To keep things aligned probably i should replace schedule_work() with
queue_work() and use system_wq there too..
