This function has been there even before and is used on more locations.
I have just moved the definition.

It was just an optimization. It does not make sense to queue the work
if there is nothing to do.

Note that the timeout between the scans is there to throttle the work.
If all pages are scanned, the work stops re-queuing until
__khugepaged_enter() adds new job.

Thanks a lot for review. I am going to update the patchset according
to the other comments.

Best Regards,
Petr
