Phil Carmody dd6414b50f timer: Permit statically-declared work with deferrable timers ...

Currently, you have to just define a delayed_work uninitialised, and then
initialise it before first use.  That's a tad clumsy.  At risk of playing
mind-games with the compiler, fooling it into doing pointer arithmetic
with compile-time-constants, this lets clients properly initialise delayed
work with deferrable timers statically.

This patch was inspired by the issues which lead Artem Bityutskiy to
commit 8eab945c56 ("sunrpc: make the cache cleaner workqueue
deferrable").
