I really do not think this has any business being exported at all.

kfd_queue_work is not something that should be done in a driver.
Something like this belongs into the workqueue core, not in an
underdocumented helper in a random driver.

Drm guys:  once again, please please work with the maintainers instead
of just making up random stuff in the drivers.
