The previous patch removed the wait that is performed when the work queue is observed to be empty and was observed as the cause of a performance problem. It is likely that waiting when the queue is observed to be non-empty is similarly unintended. Note that I have not observed such a problem myself. 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.
