Fix: only wait if work queue is empty in real-time mode
Unconditionally waiting for 10 ms after the completion of every batch
of jobs of the work queue in real-time mode appears to be a behaviour
inherited from the call-rcu thread.
While this is a fair trade-off in the context of call-rcu, it is less
evident that it is desirable in the context of a general-purpose
work queue. Waiting when work is available artificially degrades the
latency characteristics of the work queue.
If a workqueue user even need the explicit delay for batching (e.g. if
a call-rcu implementation would ever use the workqueue worker thread),
it can add it within the worker_before_wait_fct callback received as
argument from workqueue creation.
