[PATCH v2 1/2] rust: workqueue: restrict delayed work to global wqs

From: Alice Ryhl

Date: Thu Nov 13 2025 - 05:01:18 EST


When a workqueue is shut down, delayed work that is pending but not
scheduled does not get properly cleaned up, so it's not safe to use
`enqueue_delayed` on a workqueue that might be destroyed. To fix this,
restricted `enqueue_delayed` to static queues.
