When the system is idling, contention for struct_mutex should be low and
so we will be more efficient to wait for a contended mutex than
reschedule.

I don't see any real downsides to this indeed.

Possible tweak could be to leave this as is, maybe just not go for the
reduced idle timer on re-schedule, but add a cancel_delayed_work on the
unparking side of things. That way any mutex activity without actual
device unparking would only slightly delay going idle, while idle_work
would retain it's minimal disturbance of the mutex.
