I did not notice before, but that doesn't make much sense IMHO. Your
function follows the "negative number on error" return model, so
returning the boolean value from schedule_work() doesn't look good.
Either you don't care about that value, and you should ignore it and
return 0 on success. Or you care and you should handle it in the
function. Right now value false/0 is in a gray zone, you don't consider
it as success according to the above comment, but you don't treat it as
an error in the code below either. I suppose it can't actually happen?
If so, I advise you don't check the value returned by schedule_work().

This covers the case where you get an interrupt before the handler is
installed. Good catch, I never considered it.
