If queue_work fails, you will never wake up the waiter.

Note, that's a case I explicitly handle (failure to queue the work) in
the async set I sent out.
On gbsim at any rate, with a sufficient number of outstanding operations
in-flight it's possible to cause queue_work() to fail. Since you're in a
timer callback you're atomic so you can't call gb_operation_cancel()
here directly, those two reasons are why I did it in a work-queue as
opposed to a timer.
That's why I trapped that error at the send() stage of the operation -
because testing it out on gbsim showed messages getting lost @ the
queue_work stage.
