[PATCH v6 1/3] rust: helpers: add workqueue helpers

Add C helpers for work_pending, cancel_work_sync, and
cancel_delayed_work_sync to bridge the Rust workqueue abstraction
with the kernel's C workqueue macros.

Additionally, add a robust initialization helper for delayed_work
that ensures correct timer (delayed_work_timer_fn) and lockdep setup
in a single pass, avoiding redundant initialization.
