The reset is cancelling the worker anyway. And it will then be
rescheduled once the reset is done. And the ping time is defined as
1/8th the wrap time (being approx 223 seconds on current platforms). So
as long as the reset doesn't take longer than about 200s, there is no
issue. And if the reset did take longer than that then we have bigger
issues than the busyness stats (which can't actually be counting anyway
because nothing is running if the GT is in reset) being slightly off.
