I disagree, nothing guarantees in the API that it will be executed right
away. Since it might be asynchronous (if something else holds a
reference for example), we need the workqueue.

Fortunately, it turns out that it's actually done right away, which also
means we'll never hit the timeout and thus never stall the test run.
