You're thinking of it from the point of view of the scheduler, so to you it should be named what it does.
However, from the users' point of view, it's an abstraction of work dispatching; the fact that a kthread (which needs waking) does the work is irrelevant.
Consider if the kthread is converted to work_structs instead and your now- renamed rfcomm_wake() is calling schedule_work().
