Sadly, gcc doesn't do it in this case. Still, I'd rather keep the source
clean, and hope that the compiler improves eventually, than to make the
code uglier.

I replaced both of the "test_bit(WORK_STRUCT_PENDING, &work->management)"
with "work_pending(work)" in my tree.

Now somebody who knows how to trigger this thing should just _test_ it.
