Calling INIT_DELAYED_WORK() just before schedule_delayed_work() is a bad
practice. If cancel_delayed_work() gets called before
INIT_DELAYED_WORK() then it will encounter something that it not
expects. If cancel_delayed_work() and INIT_DELAYED_WORK() get called
concurrently than that will trigger a race condition. It is better to
call INIT_DELAYED_WORK() from the context that allocates the data
structure in which the work structure is embedded.

Thanks,

Bart.
