i don't think so as explained below.
let us assume @rfkill->hard_block_reasons has value
RFKILL_HARD_BLOCK_SIGNAL which means block state before
__rfkill_set_sw_state(..., true, RFKILL_HARD_BLOCK_NOT_OWNER) is invoked.

@prev should mean previous block state, @prev will have false based on
current logic, it is wrong since rfkill have block state before the call.

the worker will be unneccessarily scheduled for above example based on
current logic even if the rfkill always stay in block state.
