Why bother flipping the media rc6 timeout? Why not just set it to the
new preferred value?

Other wise fix the use of a duplicate task (duplicates
retire-work/idle-work) (and not doing correct rpm wakeref tracking or
documentating that you only set if on the second batch, which seems an
interesting choice.)
