I got your point.
Thanks for kind illustration.

Following is a alternative implementation for this.
I thinks this is too rare case, so it doesn't help in any real workload.
But how do you thinks?

@@ -1156,7 +1156,9 @@ int queue_delayed_work_on(int cpu, struct
workqueue_struct *wq,
if (!(wq->flags & WQ_UNBOUND)) {
struct global_cwq *gcwq = get_work_gcwq(work);

- if (gcwq && gcwq->cpu != WORK_CPU_UNBOUND)
+ if (!gcwq)
+ lcpu = cpu;
+ else if (gcwq->cpu != WORK_CPU_UNBOUND)
lcpu = gcwq->cpu;
else
lcpu = raw_smp_processor_id();
