[PATCH v2 5/9] usb: don't use PREPARE_DELAYED_WORK

[Tejun Heo]

Hello,

If this is actually safe, let's do it from the get-go.

Thanks!
------- 8< -------
PREPARE_[DELAYED_]WORK() are being phased out.  They have few users
and a nasty surprise in terms of reentrancy guarantee as workqueue
considers work items to be different if they don't have the same work
function.

usb_hub->init_work is multiplexed with multiple work functions;
however, the work item is never queued while in-flight, so we can
simply use INIT_DELAYED_WORK() before each queueing.

It would probably be best to route this with other related updates
through the workqueue tree.

Lightly tested.

v2: Greg and Alan confirm that the work item is never queued while
    in-flight.  Simply use INIT_DELAYED_WORK().
